Even Dr. Spetzler (world renown neurosurgeon and director of Barrow Neurological Institute) stated that, “It struck me that this was incredibly perplexing and not understandable with what we know about the brain. Without any brain wave activity, it is inconceivable to me that the brain can receive, internalize, and maintain a memory. But,AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK IT IS THE HEIGHT OF EGOTISM TO SAY SOMETHING CAN’T HAPPEN JUST BECAUSE WE CAN’T EXPLAIN IT.” 4 of 4

With her ears plugged and no brain waves, how was it that she was able to accurately report conversations that went on in the surgery? Additionally, her eyes were taped shut, and all of her body, except for the surgical site, was covered up by sterile drapes. 3 of 4

You have these fools who claim “lack of oxygen to the brain” and “drug induced hallucinations” as the cause of these experiences. Yet, they completely ignore the facts for which their explanations are too simplistic. With Reynolds, for example, her ears were plugged by ear phones producing a clicking noise to cause brain wave activity that the anesthesiologist could then shut down by giving her a drug to stop all brain waves which was necessary to do for this particular surgery.

I think you guys are just as hateful and deluded as you claim believers in God are. You make fun of people who have had experiences with ghosts and claim that when a person dies, they cease to exist at all. Check out the story of Pam Reynold’s near death experience. It was the most medically monitored NDE recorded. 1 of 4

The Bible is an amazing book. It is this huge puzzle that nobody ever bothers to speak about. When you only know the surface meaning of the bible, you are not getting what it is saying at all. Everything has at least two meanings. Numbers also have meaning that you need to understand to truly understand what is being said in a phrase containing that number. Often, Jesus said that those that can hear will understand. But if you don’t have spiritual ears, you will not understand.
A simple example is the story of the Good Samaritan. People read the story and think it is only a be good to your neighbor story, but it is actually the story of the fall of man to the return of Christ. If you don’t get that, then you are sorely lacking in knowledge of the Bible. No, I’m not making this up.
You logical, rational people ought to be able to figure it out. It’s a puzzle – don’t blow me off – really figure it out. It’s quite fun.
Additionally, I would love for you to debate Dr. Hugh Ross, a physicist, and a christian. He’s logical and rational. Enjoy!

Oh, and it doesn’t mean it’s incorrectly written at all times – but it should at least be obvious that not everything you read is always the full story, or complete picture, as shown in the above link. Also, for instance, if Constantine hadn’t combined pagan religion with Christianity as a political move to create harmony amongst the people, then perhaps it wouldn’t be as widespread of a religion.

@ stevenK:

You asked “Is this supposed to mean history is incorrectly written? If so, how did you come to know this?”

How about apocrypha of the bible? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_apocrypha

Your bible is derived from people methodically hand-picking which books to include, and omit the ones that the person rejects or doubts. How’s that for starters?

It’s disappointing to learn of fellow Americans who would stoop to peddling lies to support their position. Google “Six Consequences if Proposition 8 Fails” … these are six totally false talking points that the “Yes on 8″ campaign is trying to use to fire up their target voters. Anyone who bothers to study the issue will quickly learn that these six “consequences” are total fabrications and sad examples of ugly fearmongering from the “Yes on 8″ campaign. Shame.

Steviek,

“I thought humans determine morality for themselves. Why are you saying moral opinions ought to be a certain way?”

I never mentioned humans, i said Christians. Christians believe in the word of god and the bible, the bible has evil wrote all over it ” example – god masacre’ of ALL children just to save one!! He went on to Flood the entire world thus resulting in a HUGE amount of deaths – women – children – animals and even tree’s. Why would someone worship and follow god’s word – it makes no sense really, does it?

What you mentioned above is not what is being taught in the bible. Humans do determine morality for themselves however, thats not what the bible teaches is it?
