What happens after death and why we are here?

I have been reading some very compelling stories about folks who have died, experienced the other side, and returned. They have returned with some very compelling stories for why we are here.

What are your opinions on this?

    I never understood the argument that if a NDE can be reproduced in the lab, that the experience is therefore entirely physical.

    Death is a physical experience, so why would you be surprised that physical experiences designed to mimic death yield some experiences similar to NDEs?

    An example of what I mean is the high G centripetal force test that nasa used to do to ascertain the unconscious threshold of their astronauts. Some astronauts reported having similar experiences to the beginning of an NDE when they passed out, and that has been used against NDEs.

    But ask yourself how does that prove the NDE is not a 'real' experience. All it proves is that if you recreate conditions where the brain is starved of oxygen/blood, similar to death, you get an experience similar to death. It does not prove that the experience you had at that time was not valid.

    So to those that say the NDE has been explained, well, it has not.

    What has not been explained is the sheer amount of people coming back with information they could not have possibly known. There have been numerous studies done in NDEs with positive results. The bulk of the scientific community simply ignores these studies, or instantly discounts them as erroneous.

    "I cannot stand those who use a near-death experience in their life to justify their religious beliefs. My mother had a near-death experience before I was born and she didn't see anything. No God, no Jesus, no Heaven and no Hell."

    How would she know? She could have had an experience and simply not remembered it. This happens all the time.

    Edit: I truly look forward to the results of this study

    I've been reading some very compelling stories about people who have had toothaches. They all seem to tell the same story: starting out as a dull throbbing, then a sharp stabbing pain, always in the mouth area. It's amazing, and must be proof of life after dentistry.

    Seriously, there isn't a single shred of credible, verifiable evidence that anything survives the death of the body. There are an equal number of anecdotal stories of people who died, were revived, and experienced absolutely nothing. Neither story proves anything.

    After death, u will be clearing your sins that you made and created while living in this world in hell. Later, you will be cleaned and born as new to clear and being a better human being. To noe more bout this, refer to Hindu spiritual books. They have a lot explanations that may satisfy you.

    Nothing that we can prove.

    NDE's are nothing but dreams. They are inside the body, rather than out.

    NDE's are explained through neuroscience not supernaturlism.
