To give birth to something or someone is different from creating it
I'm teaching you for free
Ignoramus
When did I say giving birth to something is tantamount to creating it?
I was already alive before I was given birth to.

So who is the ignoramus here?

Anyone who believes in any form of supernatural being is a theist.
Not quite. Not all supernatural beings are gods and it is people who believe in supernatural beings described as gods who are theists. You can lack belief in gods and yet believe supernatural beings exist.

Those NDE folks brains doesn't stop functioning. Even when we confirm someone clinically dead, it doesn't mean the brain cant function. The brain remains functioning 5 to 6 minutes after the heart stops pumping. In those 5 or 6 minutes, they can dig into their memory banks and conjure those NDE moments, before return of spontaneous circulation occurs(restart of heartbeat)
Another thing that makes rubbish of NDEs is it is experienced by people of every religion, and each one talks about meeting their resppective gods, or religious experiences. So which god is the real one?
That should tell their experiences are simply religious indoctrinations that are replayed, like explained earlier
You didn't take your time to read what you responded to

I said at clinical death the brain is seen to be flatline. I used the word flatline and went on to explain what it means;; minimal activity or "functions" not enough to create the vivid imageries associated with the experience of NDE. This is what currebt research into the phenomenonhas made us to understand

It's similar to when a computer is hibernating. This analogy is not a perfect description of it but at least to an extent it helps . I never said the brain has stopped "functioning" completely.

I shouldn't be explaining to a medical doctor what it means for the brain to go flatline at clinically death. The use of the word , functioning, by you and you friend gives the impression that the brain at that period is still working as normal.

It cannot be that the brain of clinically dead person can still function normally as that of someone who has life and still fully conscious.
because att that point it's gradually shutting down .

If you have any evidence that the brain at that point still functions normally as that of someone not yet dead and fully conscious, please bring it.

I need scientific support for your explanations and not just what you assume.

You are just ranting, and it's begining to get me irritated for real.
You've not said anything to counter what I said. I said what I said with respect to scientific discovery. During NDE, their are rhythmic brain patterns similar to dreaming, memory recall and meditation.

Your brain uses the information in it's memory to create series of phantasmagoricals. That's why a blind man can never have a visual dream and a deaf man, an auditory dream. Simply because their brain has no information on that(simply nothing in the memory with respect to that)

Whatever a man experiences during NDE would simply be a memory recall of his imagination, what he must have seen, or what he must have heard.

As we know, to create imaginations. Your brain still needs to get synthetic.

You don't know anything about the brain yet you are here creating a whole lot of nuisance and academic embarrassments.

This is as simple as what a basic 5 pupil should know. This is so embarrassing, honestly and I'm beginning to get pissed.

I have no pleasures for mediocrity.
Now the question is what evidence do you have that does activity seen is responsible for the phenomenon?

This is what I keep demanding from you but you have failed to provide any.

Or you don't know what scientific evidence is ?

Scientific evidence is not guess work .

There's nothing wrong if based on what you know you choose to engage your brain to come up with what you think is responsible for NDE, but if it finds no scientific support yet ,please believe in yourself and be honest to admit it's your own truth and stand by it untill you are proven otherwise by other scientists.

I think you have misunderstood me from the very beginning.

Thank you so much.

@triplechoice. This is coming from a certified medical practitioner.Therefore, come and plead your ignorance and apologize appropriately.
That person has misrepresented me. So nothing to apologize for.

A certified medical doctor should explain to you first, what it means for the brain of the clinically dead to go flatline before anything else. He has not shown he knows the difference.

Well, in the grand scheme of things. I'd just stick to Wiktionary.

Deity:
1.Synonym of divinity: the state, position, or fact of being a god.
2.A supernatural divine being; a god or goddess.

Atheist:
A person who believes that no deities(supernatural divine being)exist.
Antonym: Theist

You keep throwing the word 'flatline' around, it seems you don't even understand what it means. I did well to avoid it because it doesn't corroborate my argument.

Flatline is simply a sudden or complete shutdown of the human brain(brain death), which could be an aftermath of brain injury, cardiac arrest or anything that suddenly stops the brain from receiving oxygen.
All flatlines or lemme say most flatlines result to death but, not all death is a result of flatlines.

Lemme use something you can relate to.

Assume you are using a desktop PC without a UPS, or lemme say a laptop without a back up.
Your PC is directly connected to power and you are enjoying yourself.

Case 1:
When you shut down the PC. Upon shutting down, the PC closes all your unterminated softwares and windows by itself and even gives you the opportunity to cancel some. That's what happens to the brain when you die, after death. The brain remains active for anything within seconds, to minutes or hours.
Then flatline occurs. As the PC finally shuts down. The PC is not powered because it is shut down.
Here, the victim dies first, then flatline occurs as a result of death.

Case 2:
Your PC is on, without UPS or backup, just the power cable connected to it . Suddenly power is cut off(let's say NEPA, or the charger blows up) or you long press and hold the power button . Immediately the PC will go off, without warning.
The sudden power outage is the reason the PC is off.
Here! Flatline is the cause of death.

Flatline occurs after death (case 1, which is the common case)
but for some people flatline is the cause of death.(case 2, which is not rare)
There could be series of factors leading to case 2, such as: head injury, cardiac arrest e.t.c

Level of pain varies from women to women.
Therefore some women may not experience pain as opposed to some that may experience really excruciating pain.
Therefore. Labour for some women is not painful

According to that statement, was he referring to every woman or few women
I even asked him to ask his wife and mother, he did not answer
Later, he said he may have been referring to goats. Is a goat a woman? 🤷‍♂️ Or he's a goat doctor?

Well, I agree with you that there are some atheists who believe supernatural phenomenon. To me, that feels very funny.
I mean someone doesn't believe God because there is no proof of it, but he believes the supernatural (of which there is no proof of it as well)
To me and to many others what will agree. Those ones are not atheists.

I feel you on the no proof for supernatural beings part but I still class them as atheist, their failure to maintain critical evaluation standards notwithstanding.

All these stories and beliefs about supernatural beings remind me of when I was a kid watching G-Force and Voltron, wishing with every Fibre of my being that I was one those exciting heros leaping, fighting and piloting awesome machines. When you grow up you know these were fantasies and you cherish them for what they are, instead of maintaining them as some kind of proof of another world or realm. It is so freaking childish to me right now.

Why have you taken the word, flat line out of the context I used it in order to muddle things up?

You're creating confusion and I think it's deliberate to avoid providing evidence for your claims about what goes on in the brain during NDE. Nothing has been established in the sciences about the cause of the phenomenon.

I use the word , flat line in the context of NDE as against your use of "functioning" which gives the wrong impression that during that period the human brain is still very active like before.





Your lectures, sorry to say , are completely off and not relevant to what I ask you to provide. Evidence for your claims. It's as simple as that or you forget it.

You cannot be prowling about on this board demanding evidence from others and play hide and seek when it gets to your turn to do so.
That's double standard and hypocrisy



I think you just want to show you're smarter and not that you're interested in any sincere conversation . I cannot be played so enjoy yourself.

Ha! What did I do wrong?
Let's not misunderstand each other.
Let's get back to the premise of this argument.

A man who supposedly died and came back to life but in the course of death claimed he saw a "thing" which he concluded in his mind to be God, despite no formal introduction between the two.

Myself and several others repudiated the claim and proposed that the man must have been in a state of imagination sequential to prior information or beliefs held by the man.

We further strengthened our arguments that NDE/ADE is strongly governed and presented in ways that suit whichever information, believe or beliefs that an individual may hold or has heard about during the individual's lifetime.

That is, a buddhist will most likely see Buddha when he dies.
A christian will see Jesus.
A muslim will see Allah( or nothing, as their religion does not preach that)
A Hindus will see Krishna and co (as in the account of Shanti Devi in the 60s of the India people)
An IFA worshiper will see IFA.
And so on...

Also, our argument rests on this main fact that, someone who has never heard of any god or hold no legends of god in the slightest
form of regard will most likely see a loved one, absolute darkness, a bright light. Some may not even see nothing, while some may not remember what they'd see.

Therefore, I present my thesis.
Shall we start all over?

Oh I see! I think it just clicked for me that many people are unable to distinguish between fantasies and realities.One of the reasons some atheists are scared of ghosts,

However, now that i think about it. It still doesn't make them less of atheists just as you've said. Being weird notwithstanding.

It means you have not been reading me. I'm not yet arguing for NDE as proof of an afterlife.

I only asked you to provide scientific support for your explanation of what goes on in the brain during clinical death. But instead of providing that you deflected to "search Google my G"

How is that scientific support or evidence?
