Well of course theres always gona be neuroscientists who try to explain the non explainable, because they dont accept life after death, so they have to come up with a guess on what goes on.

The Bible implies MUCH more than that.

And why is that a bad thing? That's how science works..

Scientists get an idea, perform an experiment, create a theory, discover more evidence and so on. Eventually the theory becomes more accurate and humanity progresses a little.

I dont like disputing on religeons.It causes problems and fights, and hell,
even world wars n shit.Allot of war history is based one religeon/race/beliefs.
People will believe what they will.....

Y'know I've had the conversation about near-death experiences before, and one of my family members (I forgot which one) said something along the lines of:

"I find it somewhat comforting that even though these near-death experiences are not the afterlife, that your last moments of life are likely to be pleasant and comforting, no matter what the mechanism"

and I think that's a very good point.

You live and you die You eat you shit...What more can say,the bible is just a

guidline of how to do good.Not that I read it(Revalation to John), but I have been alive

long enough to know the difference between right and wrong.It's funny how most kids

stop believing once they graduated highschool.(Just a Theory)


As for the near death experience...I'm not gonna call it bullshit,but it varies from

person to person.Shit I have these feelings alot being a stoner and all.(paranoia)


So my final thought is the bible is good to teach, but religion should be abolished

In the words of Ghandhi.(check the sig)

you're absolutely right. the bible IS in fact guideline on how to do good. its your choice, which is given to you by god, to choose essentially which side you want to dwell in.

near death experiences and that general phenomena, to me, are nothing different that say the existence of UFOs and ETs, in that even if they arent genuine, it still doesnt sway my faith one bit.

i agree, and may i mention that jesus believed in keeping the state and church separate (this could be another topic in itself).

my response is in the bolded text

This thread is bullshit


The Penn and Teller show is nothing but a television show. All of their research and opinions are biased.

And I don't think near death experiences relate to dreams and hallucinations, and how can one argue the very nature of consciousness anyway?

Because of neuroscience

Neuroscience is a field that is devoted to the scientific study of the nervous system. Such studies may include the structure, function, development, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and pathology of the nervous system.

Yes it's almost always obvious what side of the issue they are for, but at least they present it fairly. If they interview the best speaker they can get from both sides of the argument (and they've managed to get some pretty prestigious people), and study and evaluate the opposing arguments, then how can there research be biased?

They also said that the last episode of the series will be called "the bullshit of Bullshit", in which they discuss all the criticisms they have at the show.

To this day we still don't understand shit about the brain and not too much about the nervous system, so how reliable can neuroscience be?

I don't think I've ever seen an example of where they've interviewed the best speaker they could get opposing their opinion. The people they get to interview that are debating the subject is what's really bullshit. And through the show they make them look like crazy people that believe what they believe because they're ignorant and are spoon fed their ideas.

I've never seen it so i can't comment.

Actually, we understand a hell of a lot about the brain and the nervous system.

It's built upon empirical evidence and experimentation; like all the sciences.
