But as...I have been an agnostic at least until now. But as I have reviewed the scientific literature no materialistic scientific rational has been given on the causes of this phenomenon. Indeed no one has found a convincing explanation. The overall direction of all experiences even in large cohort of patients had been the same even for atheistic persons. Most of these patients are in so critical condition that they did not have time for the complex process of memory retrieval regarding holisitic or loved beings. You can see all so-called explanations have been rejected in this paper: <br />http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22826697<br />There has been a change for many of persons toward a more holistic life. These also have been reported for the blind and the children without any view of what death is. Evoking such responses do not necessarily mean that they are not proof of afterlife. <br />Bottomline: Yes these are not a proof, but to date, nothing against it being a proof has been convincing as well.<br />Moreover, most of these have been reported from Christians, but even if some see Muhammad or Moses or Abraham or Whoever else, this do not mean the afterlife does not exist, this means that they will see whoever they like. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090589079272481837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587700778834733354.post-37737918617264298912012-05-18T13:25:28.873-04:002012-05-18T13:25:28.873-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03985851326210079783noreply@blogger.com
