Yeah I know.. but the process requires no God. We can believe in it, or that 'God' was there at the start of life and then took a nap! :D For me personally, both spirit and matter are eternal. No creation. |

Alternatively, God is ever present and creation is continually happening in each moment. Peace |

By the way, wasn't it Jesus who did the creating? Just curious. |

It doesn't rest upon me to judge your experiences in any way, I can only judge my phenomenal (as you so fittingly called them) own experiences which have always been - if I can put it this way - a mine of information. One of them, just to indicate my seriousness about this, was when I saw my wife standing in 'ethereal' form about ten weeks after her death, so clearly letting me know that she was 'still' here. Whatever… I think we live in a universe which invokes a continual sort of feed-back. When I look out of the window now at the sunshine-filled landscape the mass of information I (and all of us) have to absorb, convert and return is is so immense that we have no time to consider just what we are actually doing in our minds. I don't see the need for any sort of underlying and/or supernatural powers, if nature can fill the universe with two trillion galaxies then a little bit of ghost hunting can be looked upon as a tickle in the little toe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyu7v7nWzfo |
NDE (Near death experience) should be the gateway to the afterlife, correct? But some people don't experience anything. Such as they were just completely unaware(i.e:nothing happened while they were dead before being brought back to life" saying that those who experienced something were just hallucinating, or contradicting one another. How does someone explain that?

While someone is unconscious the physical body is still processing signals to the brain and the brain will 'register' them, but that doesn't mean that we become conscious of it. There is consciousness and what we are conscious of, and they are two very different beasties. In both cases consciousness remains because after they 'come back', they are still conscious. The difference is what they were conscious of at the time. It has nothing to do with an AfterLife and any sceptics who want to use unconsciousness as proof of the non-existence of an AfterLife should look to their egos first and foremost. If they were that clever they'd do their homework. |

It's a really good question why one person experiences this and another does not. Most spiritual people will claim it's either karma or faith.. I think both can be insensitive explanations, and may rely on victim blaming.. I also think there are 'real' hallucinations, but also genuine experiences, and OOBEs/NDEs. The key question is how do we discern (?). |

“We do not have any reason to believe that there are other causes of cancer than those known today (smoking, sunburn,...). Therefore the likelihood for further causes is about zero.”? Not my sentence: “It isn't proven that natural selection is the only force that leads to evolution” is flawed (the sentence is 100% correct), but rather your assumption that the parsimony of a given theory is reason enough to say that the probabilities of competing less parsimonious theories are about zero. So again, would you say it is senseful to say: “The probability of further causes of cancer beside those known today is about zero because this position is more parsimonious than a position that would consider further causes”? If not, why do you think it's reasonable to say: “The probability that there are further influences on evolution beside natural selection is about zero because this position is more parsimonious than a position that would consider further causes”? --------------------- There are further problems with the atheists’ (and your) view. It is not even the cases that atheism is the most parsimonious theory to explain evolution – but I will come to this later. |
