Absolute BS! In some Hospitals here in England, they have placed certain objects up high in Operating Theatres and in the Wards. The reason for this is so that anyone who has a out of body experience can see the strategically placed objects. Guess what, NOBODY to date has mentioned what one of the objects are. In other words. there is no such thing as an out of body experience and there is no such thing as life after death.

Don't bother trying to argue with this guy. I clearly showed his argument is a known logical fallacy and he continues to just spurt the same nonsense. This is just how creationists and other religious zealots work. He states his opinions as facts and then further links unrelated things together through faulty logic which have no scientific basis to be linked. He has no scientific evidence or data to back up his claims and its all stupid semantics.
This guy doesn't want to actually discuss facts and evidence he wants to preach and justify his beliefs. I don't know for sure what death holds or doesn't hold, but I know for sure you have proved nothing in this thread except that you would make my former high school debate teacher extremely frustrated and she would kick you out for using so many logical fallacies to try to sell your beliefs.edit on 7-10-2011 by darkest4 because: (no reason given)

Since the population of the planet keeps growing, where are all these new souls coming from?
Who said they were "new" souls?

Time is a piece of Source, so I guess you'd have to say it is based on Source.
This is a good theory about time.
BUT..what IF time is actually just a sense. A "state of awareness" or a "state of the mind"?

Uhhhhh. What?
Time is infinite, not zero. Any quantity present in an infinite system is always in the center of that system, that's why we experience the present. But that's irrelevant to the topic at hand anyway.

There is scientific evidence that the brain is also a receiver/transmitter and antenna of sorts, albeit very loose evidence but enough to cause a lot of research into an area that science really knows little about.
So, if this is in deed correct, and some day we can prove this mechanism in our brains, what is it communicating with?
I think this discovery will be the introduction to the next major step in our evolution, if we can last that long.
There are some researchers who claim that this is indeed a fact today, however there is no scientific agreement, or sustainable results to publish anything definitive about the nature of such a mechanism. The subject is truly interesting and I think there will be a lot more to read about this in the immediate future.

his logic isn't twisted...it's circular. Your argument uses the same logic but doesn't follow through, and therefor becomes flawed. Your failing to realize that the beginning and the end are the same. By separate the beginning and the end, both nonexistence, you are creating an imbalance in the universe. There would be more nonexistence than existence. Which would make existence impossible. Haha...maybe? C'mon...that's got to make a little sense? No? Alright I don't know what I'm talking about.

I think maybe you had a few bongs, or watched the Matrix too often, or both.
Let me keep it simple, before birth we or don't exist, then we do, then we die and actually no longer exist, and that means, somehow in some twisted logic we get reborn or come into existence again?
I dont think so buddy, it just means we no longer exist when we die. Sorry to disappoint you.

How do you know it is an open system?
By understanding what's going on.
It would take a lot of time to explain and I don't have the time to dew it right now. Will explain later.

To malachi777 - I too had my tonsils removed later in life and I am sorry you had to suffer so much. I too have had a death experience and for me it was - straight to the light. Lots of Souls on either side of me stacked up just like bricks in a wall. I was ready to accept my death and as I am Spiritual and may not have completed my lessons/mission/purpose on Earth I offered to be reincarnated. A peaceful voice stated to me that there was not time for reincarnation. I hovered (wish I could hover on planet Earth) and enjoyed the peace I was feeling and as I decided to return the wall of Souls on my left moved to make room - at exactly the same time I literally slipped/slid down & I woke up in the ambulance - which is where I had heard the ambulance officer say - 70 and dropping.
All I can say about my experience of death - beautiful & peaceful. I have been embraced by our Creator and our Creator is perfect.
Much Peace...
You experienced the TRUTH!
Think . . . Bi-dimensional Telekinesis!
Your Soul isn't physically within you, it is CONNECTED to you from within the other spacial dimension, where ALL Souls are born and exist forever.

All you have is opinions based on either your own subjective ( hence unprovable) experiences or something you picked up from the culture that surounds you.
Isn't it best just to admit you just don't know what comes after life - any thought you may have on the subject is just that - merely a thought.
Hey thats just my opinion though
