Can you prove there is not an afterlife?
I think near death experiences have a lot to say on the subject of afterlife. Don't know whether anyone is interested or not?
Love
Lekatt,
I find near death experiences interesting. Its interesting to note how many of them have many ideas in common:
"I saw a light at the end of a tunnel...as I neared it, I felt bathed in a warm, loving feeling, everything was going to be okay"
or
"I looked down, and saw my body...I was floating above it..."
You hear these things described a lot in near death experiences.
Critics will say, "Well, these visions could simply be a chemical that is released in the brain as the body nears death, to reduce shock, etc."
I can see that being true, especially to explain the "light at the end of a tunnel"...that sounds almost like a drug induced phenonema.
But, the "looking down and seeing your body"...to me, thats a different story. Why would any chemical released in a group of people's brains make them have the same exact hallucination of looking down and seeing their body? That explanation does not seem satisfactory. Especially when one considers that many of these reports come from fairly pragmatic people, people that aren't particularly into things flying saucers type stories, etc.
Still, of course, its not proof of an afterlife.
But, the numbers of people that report "floating out of their body" during near death experiences cannot be entirely discounted. There are too many of these cases to just completely ignore them.
