How do you explain Near Death Experiences?

Question

I know they are all anecdotal but some seem to have factors that are unexplainable like people knowing whats going on the next room and stuff.

Answer 1

it's called hallucination. nothing more.

when the body is near death, many people are medicated. others have extraordinary sensory occurrences considering the massive trauma their bodies are under, and their brains vary in perception and cognition.

Answer 2

Years ago I heard about a doctor that performed an experiment. He put a message on a piece of paper visible only from the ceiling. I think it was on top of a light fixture. Anyone 'floating' above the theater should be able to read it.

I haven't heard the result, if any. As far as I know, he's still waiting for someone to 'see' it.

But it IS strange that someone's senses would expand under oxygen deprivation.

Answer 3

Near death experiences are thought to be figments of the imagination. A person is not quite dead with this experience. They are in an altered state. It's possible that some of the five senses are heightened, especially the hearing, sense of smell, taste and touch.

Answer 4

Hi, I really believe in life after death and have read alot about it, the best book was called life after death and it was amazing lots of different stories yet nearly all the people recall the dark tunnel and relatives and friends at the end.

Answer 5

Carelessness usually. Read the instructions and follow the safety rules. Most near death experiences can be avoided.

Answer 6

Some people do not believe in an after life. So here are a few examples of those NDE to think about.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Answer 7

You've already answered your own question, but to reiterate what you already know, there is no way to say with absolute certainty what another person is experiencing inside their own head. Therefore, it's impossible to confirm the validity of these peoples claims. In the absence of verifiable evidence, we must assume their claims to be false.

Perhaps the day will come when science can "kill" people and then revive them, and then you will have your answer.

Answer 8

when you die your sole leaves your body and you can see yourself lying there along with who ever and you can hear everything that is being said,your hearing is the last to go.i've seen a show about all that how people has had heart surgery and has died on the operating table for a few seconds and then came back to life they said it wasn;t scary at all it was very peaceful. i hope it made sense

take care

Answer 9

There is life after death. When someone is near death, his spirit gets our of the body and starts to see many images about his past. Usually they see a light and after the light relatives that have died. (My e.mail [e-mail]).

Answer 10

i stepped off the curb, and in a split second caught myself from almost walking out infront of a car, that was a near death experience.
