That's most odd. I sent 2 messages to your Youtube page. Looks like the Gremlins are at work again. I'll be waiting the results of these tests with interest. If there are results indicating that 'something' was able to see onto the high shelves above the operating tables where the patients were lying, and relay this informnation back to the patient below, then we might have to take another look at the reality of 'souls'. Much as I dislike labelling these things like that.

I haven't received any personal messages from you through youtube. You mean messages you left in these comments?

I wouldn't doubt that 25 hospitals and thousands of patients have been involved in studies of out of body experiences. The part that sounded hard to believe was "hundreds" of hospitals involved in "after-brain-death experiences", which don't sound like they're the same as "out of body" or "near death" experiences. I'll search around for those one of these days.

I'd like to listen to what God says, but I've never heard any communication from him at all. I've seen a lot of stories attributed to him, which seem more likely written or passed on by humans.

If something cannot come from nothing, then God must be an exception to that rule.

By the way, technically gravity is a theory that is still being tested, but most people assume it is true. Just because it's a theory doesn't mean it's worthless speculation. Evolution certainly has more evidence supporting it than faith-based (evidence-lacking) theories.

If you read my personal messages to you you'd know that I remembered wrongly, and that it was 25 hospitals in the experiment, with hundreds (1500 or somesuch) of patients. The experiment is to see if there's any veracity to the claims of out of body experiences. The results won't be known for a while probably.

[deidzoeb]

I'll still have to do more searching within those articles to find one that specifically talks about out of body experiences reported after brain death, or the "hundreds" of hospitals trying to test for that specifically as you claimed.

[deidzoeb]

Good point, Biod. They want to claim that there's a firm rule that something cannot come from nothing, or that everything must have created, then their theory involves a God who did come from nothing (or has always existed) and that he doesn't need to be created.

[deidzoeb]

Just because we don't know exactly how life and humanity formed does not mean that "God did it" should be the default explanation.

And you fundamentalists demand the last word, right? Lets see if you can resist another insipid parting shot across the bow of reason. My moneys says no but here's your chance to prove an atheist wrong. Can you take it?

In your most humble opinion Im sure - you atheists are so intellingent.
