It was scientists who debunked the religious near death experiences about 15 yrs ago, remember? But I guess that just makes them arrogant. I did not think they debunked it, just because they showed the physical processes that occur does not negate the experience... No, the experiments negated that the experience itself was divine and therefore proof of an afterlife, which the "Christian scientists" sought to validate. quote:
No, that was not your point. Your point was that you BELIEVE there is no life after death and that everyone who believes other than you is WRONG. That was your point. And BTW, I am hard on all one true wayers... from Christians to Muslims to Jews to any other belief. I have respect for those who allow others to believe what they will and leave them alone to express their religion as they would like. Posting on a thread like this that you have the one true way and standing up for those who are arrogantly insisting that they do too, well it is not in the spirit of the thread... which is to question.. since you have the answers, well I suppose you should make a thread about that. i could give a rat's ass about that thread, any more then I care about a Christian one... Don't misrepresent my views. What you are calling "one true wayer," which I am not, I call meritocracy. I don't believe that all views are equally valid. quote:

he problem with the religious like Firm, is that all scientific inquiry begins with the axiom that God indeed exists and that there is life after death as stated in the Bible. For goodness sake, why is this a problem for you? I mean seriously, why do you care what he thinks or believes or how he wants to go about developing his questions about life, the universe, and everything in it? I fail to understand what your point is at all... It is not like he came on this thread and claimed to have all the answers, Atheists did. Atheists never claimed to have all the answers. We just claim to not believe in things for which there is no evidence. Why is that so difficult for you? He came to this thead using your article as confirmation bias of his faith. If you are being intellectually honest, you should have just as much problem with that as with the people who thought your article was junk. I responded to you and not him becaue I don't care what he thinks, but I do care that you, in your response to him, misrepresented the views of atheists. quote:
And as far as scientists being religious... please show me where they are mostly Atheists... (I know that most of them are NOT) You don't know this. The latest NAS poll (National Academy of Sciences) showed that 94% of scientists are Atheist or Agnostic. This link was presented in the "Critical Thinking and religion" thread from back in March. If you google "scientists" and "atheism" you will find evidence of dozens of polls confirming this, but you won't find one poll or any data anywhere that shows the opposite. Even the data as interpreted by religious organizations show that 60% of scientists are non-believers. They have managed to fudge the 40% because they dick around with terms "religious" vs "spiritual."
