Anyone got Life-after-death Experiences? here the report below
and just to share
Occasionally the news media report the story of someone who
supposedly came back to life after he or she had died and returned
to consciousness to relate the incident. Sometimes these happenings
seem truly remarkable and appear to contradict the many biblical
passages describing death. How can that be?
The basic premise of these accounts is that the people describing
their experiences actually died. True, many of them were declared
"clinically dead." However, as with life itself there is much that
medical science has not grasped about the nature of death. Doctors
and scientists do not agree on exactly what constitutes "death."
Some people, for example, may be brain-dead or comatose while the
rest of their body functions for years. Others whose hearts or
lungs have stopped have been successfully resuscitated with no
permanent ill effects.
In the Bible death is described as a state of total unconsciousness
devoid of awareness, knowledge or perception (Psalm 6:5;
Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10). If we accept the Bible's description of
death, we realize that those who returned to consciousness or were
revived and later related their experiences were not really dead
but in some unconscious state. Some vital organs, such as the
heart, may have temporarily ceased functioning, but not all brain
activity had stopped.
Researchers have found that the human nervous system and brain
operate largely through electrical impulses. The brain requires
blood and oxygen to properly function, and when breathing or blood
circulation is impaired the brain begins to malfunction. If these
functions are interrupted long enough, the brain eventually ceases
all activity.
Some researchers conclude that the unusual sensations, including
lights and sounds, reported by those revived after being clinically
dead can be attributed to malfunctions of the nervous system and
brain brought about by the shock to the body brought on by nearly
dying.
