Doctor claims evidence of the afterlife

Medical doctor Jeffrey Long has claimed that near death experiences are the key in providing evidence of an afterlife.
The claim is based on the similarities in near death experiences around the world citing correlations such as the experiencer's recollections, heightened senses and a reunion with family members during a near death experience as prime examples.
The near-death experience story is so common that it has become a bit of a cliché: A medical patient, hanging in a murky limbo between life and death, is drawn through a tunnel of bright light, meets their maker, and is told they must return to the land of living.

Of course there is life after death you morons. Where do you think ghost and spirits and such come from? Why is there even research being done on this? Who actually believes we die and that's it.. Some of you peoples are just stern unbelievers.... Yep, sure am.

Its more than probable. Its almost guaranteed. "Almost" is not the same as "always", "always" is 100%, almost is 100%. Generalization and deny other variables would blind you to see the truth. i keep seeing you refer to being able to kill anything we like as evidence of our being the dominant and most intelligent. the cockroach is more adaptable, more resourceful, and much much tougher than humans. thank your lucky stars they aren't looking to take us over. Nope. They may be more adaptable, but they lack of intelligence. Thus they can't decide whether they can kill human or not. As for humans,... [More]

As for humans, it's just that people doesn't want to kill; but if they want to kill, they can kill anything in sight. How many animals (chicken, bird, pig, cow, etc...) do you think human can kill everyday? Countless. How many animals kill a human everyday? Countable. More adaptive to the environment, so what? Still killed by hu... [More]

"Almost" is not the same as "always", "always" is 100%, almost is 100%. Generalization and deny other variables would blind you to see the truth. It appears, you are under the impression i claimed Almost means Always? How come? Nope. They may be more adaptable, but they lack of intelligence. Thus they can't decide whether they can kill human or not. As for humans, it's just that people doesn't want to kill; but if they want to kill, they can kill anything in sight. No, they cant. Because many cant decide whether or not they CAN kill any animal or not.

FlyingAngel, being able to kill someone does not you better than that someone. That's a ridiculously primitive and dangerous mindset.

we domesticate animals for slaughter so we can eat them. if you go to the jungle and stand there long enough, something will kill you. animals have far less opportunity, or inclination for that matter, to kill something or someone unnecessarily. i still find it amusing and slightly confusing (hey that rhymes ) that one would consider who can kill whom an indicator of superiority. It's because a human going to jungle unprepared. If it goes in armed, steel armor, with a mind to kill anything in his way. Nothing can stop him. You can tell to an animal to prepare everything you want. First, it can... [More]

It doesn't matter, it's not a 100% sure that when one is put in the Amazon, it will die in 7 days. They can if they want to. Give them 1 million $ and tell them to kill one animal. They'll do

It's because a human going to jungle unprepared. If it goes in armed, steel armor, with a mind to kill anything in his way. Nothing can stop him. You can tell to an animal to prepare everything you want. First, it can't understand you (lack of intelligence), second it can't get through a steel armor. Simple as that, human still win. We domesticate animals because we are able to control them = dominate over them. If there is really a war against species, human still win. Guns, knife, fire, nuclear, bombs. We have all needed technology to kill all. I didn't say to kill someone, I said we can kil... [More]

Exactly. A death certificate is just like a marriage certificate: a legal fiction. Some people just want to privilege being dead from merely shacking up with the dead. Some do it for religious reasons; others, for financial purposes. Personally, I'd give more credence to NDEs if "dead" Christians sometimes saw Buddha and "dead" Buddhists sometimes saw Jesus. But they don't. "Dead" Christians see Jesus or angels, and "dead" Buddhists see Buddha or bodhisattvas. These "near-death" experiences are culturally conditioned. And your evidence that Buddhists claimed to have seen Buddha and Krishna whe... [More]
