The Afterlife more than likely exists

Defence of ArgumentsConciousness: This was not an argument in itself but more of a prologue before my argument about Near Death Experiences. As there is much confusion about what a 'soul' really is, I prefer not to use that term often but by a soul I mean a mind or conscousness that is seperate from the body (the ghost in the machine). To confirm that consciousness is seperate from the body using empirical evidence I used the example of NDEs.Near Death Experiences: You mention that 'possessed consciousness' does not pertain to 'soul leaving their body'. I never ment that. I was stating that having the ability to possess consciousness while the body and the brain are not functioning at all shows that consciousness is seperate from the body. In later examples of NDEs I mentioned OBEs which are a kind of NDE. Your claim that 'wouldn't it be 100%' is a fair point. And honestly the answer is not all that clear and we do not know however what we do know is that certain cases have reported to have out of body experiences and that several of them have been verified which is something Con does not mention. He merely says that many out of body experiences have been 'debunked' but does not go on to explain how. Verified OBEs confirm that consciousness is seperate from the body. Now if consciousness is seperate from the body, then when the body shuts down consciousness does not neccessarily. So through that we now know 2 things:a) Consciousness is separate from the body; ie. the soul exists.b) Consiousness existing after the permanent cessation of the body is highly likely; ie. the afterlife is highly likely. And with these further arguments I will argue that the afterlife is more than likely. Quantum PhysicsInformation Field Theory is a statistical field theory and has been proved with physical tests and mathematics. It was first theorised by Alain Aspect, the main proponent for Quantum Entanglement and who proved Einstein himself wrong.The Information Field is basically a higher field of consciousness. It is a quantum field that encompasses the whole cosmos. Professor Hans-Peter D"rr, former head of the Max Planck Institute for Physics explains: "Basically, there is no such thing as material. Primarily, there exist only connections to material foundation. We could therefore call it consciousness material. Energy appears only as coagulated, secondarily, solidified spirit. Many discoveries of quantum physics are not only immaterial, but that is a work in completely different ways that has nothing to do with the standard three-dimensional spatial sense we have. It is a pure information field, a sort of quantum code. It has nothing to do with mass and energy. This information field spans the entire universe. The cosmos is whole information because this field has no limit. There is only one, but this one united entity is differentiated." D"rr further goes on to explain how our own consciousness is part of this greater consciousness and that when we die our consciousness returns to the information field possibly to be re-used.So this gives us a scientific explanation but what about real evidence. Reincarnation ResearchDr Ian Stevenson is one of the most well known reseracher of reincarnation cases and so far has come across 3,000 cases. One of these cases came from a Sri-Lankan toddler who told her puzzled parents that in her previous life she was accidently drowned by her mentally handicapped brother and gave 30 wild details and claims about her previous family including their names and were they lived. What she had said was confirmed.Another case came from a 3-year old boy from the border between Israel and Syria. He claimed that in his past life he was killed by an axe and showed the village elders and the witness to this Dr Eli Lasch where the murder buried his body and where he buried the axe to kill him. The skeleton found biried in the ground had a severe axe mark in its head much like the boy's birthmark which was a red streak on his forehead. Furthermore however he recounted his murderer's name. When questioned about it the man named as the murderer denied it but when he was taken to the site of the skeleton's burial and where the axe was buried he admitted that he had killed this man who the boy claimed to be. The murderer also confirmed the name of the person which the boy told the elders amd Dr Lasch before and the house in which he lived which the boy had lead the elders and Dr Lasch to before as well. Bruce Whittier reported having realistic dreams about being a Jew in wartime hiding in a house with his family. He also said that in his dream his family called him another name that he had never heard before- Stefan Horowitz. Horowitz had been a real Dutch Jew who had been dicovered by the Nazis and taken to Auschwitz where he had died. Whittier was getting pannicked about his realistic dreams and in one of his dreams he saw a clock on the wall of the home he was hiding in. When he woke up he drew a detailed picture of that clock. He had another dream about a Nazi taking it. He then had a dream about it being in an antiques shop. When he went to the shop in his dream he saw the clock in his window. He asked the owner of the shop where it had come from and he replied that it it had come from a German Major in the Netherlands. This final case is another of Ian Stevenson's. It is about a boy called Imad Elawar in Lebanon. His first words were two names- Mahmoud and Jamileh. At the age of five he had made 55 claims about his previous life including his house which he took Dr Stevenson and his family to. From photographs there he pointed out Mahmoud who he said was his uncle which turned out to be true and Jamileh who was found to be the mistress of the man who had lived in the house. He was also able to remember where the man had kept his gun. Conclusion I first explored the possibility of consciousness being a separate entity from the body. Then I confirmed this with verified Out of Body experiences. Futhermore I gave a scientific explanation to this and the afterlofe with Quantum Mechanics and Information Field Theory and Finally with various examples of Reincarnation cases confirmed the resolution that the Afterlife more than likely exists.
