There IS life after DEATH: Scientists reveal shock findings

[Wilikon]

No consciousness is linked to no brain electric activity.

So why would the patient exhibit conscious behavior such as having valid perceptions if there is no brain activity at that time? This result points to a failure in the theory of mind as being generated from the brain. You did not present any evidence to substantiate your claim that awareness is possible when there is no electrical activity. Awareness is based on constantly-fluctuating levels of electrical activity in the brain, but this patient had no brain activity for several minutes and still had awareness. So where is the evidence that can save the physicalist hypothesis?

The electrical theory of the brain has already failed:

"some AI researchers have simulated the entire, already-mapped nervous system (302 neurons) of the tiny worm C elegans. Like paramecium, we don’t know if they’re conscious, but C elegans clearly exhibits ‘easy problem’ behaviors, e.g. moving in response to stimuli. But even artificial C elegans just sits there, with no functional behavior. AI can’t simulate the ‘easy problems’ in simple brains. Something is missing."

Somebody gets it with my consciousness = electrical brain map comment.

[Wilikon]

Im in shock. I hope its true and we do live on after death, but for more then the few minutes that was claimed in the news article. Its cool to know that science is working its magic to figure this out because truthfully, im scared of dying.

You did not control your birth, you may control your death. Why a need to be scared? Pain, that's something else of course.

Do you remember when you were 3 years old? How about 2? 1? 1 month?

I'll bet that if you remember anything from 1 month old, that you don't remember all of it clearly. So, what makes you think that you didn't formally accept your conception, and simply don't remember that you did this?

I remember when Wilikon was born. He was sooo cute! Nowadays... I don't know.

And absolutely not one person remembers anything before birth, nor does anyone come back after death, why is this?
Reincarnation does not exist nor life after death, I have read all the baloney on the internet, so no links please.

As for my earliest memory, I can go back as far as a few months of age, but my perception nowadays, may just be muddled memories.

nor does anyone come back after death

Actually, the patient from the OP has come back after death and his veridical perceptions present a serious problem for the physicalist theory of reality. You have not addressed this case at all!

Why would the patient exhibit conscious behavior such as having valid perceptions if there is no brain activity at that time? This result points to a failure in the theory of mind as being generated from the brain. Awareness is based on constantly-fluctuating levels of electrical activity in the brain, but this patient had no brain activity for several minutes and still had awareness.

Muddled memories is exactly it. Since we don't have much in the line of a point of reference for anything when we are young infants, memories seem muddled. But they are very strong. We simply don't recognize what we are remembering when we remember them.

Feeling is one of the strongest senses. It is way more basic than sight, even though sight can be way more analytical. A baby is essentially just the same a minute after he is born as he was a minute before the actual birthing process started. A few minutes is a short time, even for a baby.

Why do you think that a baby doesn't remember his feelings before birth just like he does after birth?

It has been shown that babies react to sound weeks before birth. Why do you think that they do not remember some or all of this?

Simply because standard memory processes are not developed in a 1-month fetus doesn't mean that they are not there in some form. So, why not at the moment of conception?

Although memories are stored in the brain, this doesn't mean that they are not stored in the soul or spirit as well, even before birth.

For some reason, you are simply in denial.

being Muslim it is our strongest believe that there is life after death and we have to return to our creator on the day of judgement and every one has to answer for deeds he don in this world. it will be the day of punishment and rewards. Allah says in Quan
Recite with the name of your Lord Who created,

He made man from the clot of blood,

Recite, for your Lord is the Most Generous,

Who taught writing by the pen.

Taught man what not.

Yes, undoubtedly, man transgresses.

Because, he thought himself self-sufficient.

Undoubtedly, unto your Lord is the return. Taught man what he knew

Well, you see him who forbids

A bondman of Ours when he offers prayer.

well, you see if he would have been on guidance,

Or he would have commanded piety, what a good thing it had been.

Well you see, if he belied and turned back, then what would be his condition.

Did he not know that Allah is seeing?

Yes, if he desisted not, We will assuredly drag him by catching his forelock hairs.

forelock of what type, lying, sinful.

Now let him call his association

Just now We call Our guards.

Yes, hear him not and prostrate and draw near to Us.

[abugseuf]

yes it is a fact. being Muslim we believe it that there is life after death. i think there are other religions who also have a strong believe that there is life after death.

I'm finding it hard to believe that there are people out there who ACTUALLY BELIEVE that nature came into existence all by itself!

I'm amazed at the population of those who believe so...

It's incredulous

Well, maybe, you're just not very familiar with some problems of the Evolution Theory. I don't think it is proved in a better way than Creationism. Or, rather, it is just a bit more appropriate for contemporary people. I'm quite sute in a few centuries people will make fun of us believing in evolution)

yes it is a fact. being Muslim we believe it that there is life after death. i think there are other religions who also have a strong believe that there is life after death.

Sure there are. Christianity, for examle) Or we can talk about Buddism where life actually begins after death, sort of

Why don't you guys just kill yourself and go straight to paradise?  If you believe in life after death, why bother waiting for death.  Just do it and live forever in the afterlife.

Why are you waiting for death?

You just don't get it, do you? Paradise isn't the most important thing. Worshiping and praising God is way more important - recognizing He exists is the start of praise.

God placed us here for reasons of His own. Suicide is an attempt at nullifying God's purposes in placing us here, thereby becoming counter to praise and worship. This makes suicide a separation from Paradise, but an entrance into Hell.

To be sure, there are times when self-inflicted death is praising God. "Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."

Living and dying for God is way more important than Paradise. Paradise is simply the aftereffect of living and dying for God.

we are the owner of our life it is to God and has the power to take it. we cannot take the life of even an animal . Allah says that he created humans for his worship in this world ans he will give us the reward in the second life. in this world all the things are for the benifit of human so we should thanks all and worship Him in this life

Sounds like your God has some confidence issues.  Probably was molested as a child.

Asking to be worshiped?  What for? so that he can feel better about himself?  Is he some insecure child?  

Muslims are taking lives of animals, including other humans as we speak.  

It seems to me you guys don't really believe in after life.  If you did, you would kill yourself without hesitation.

When you have someone as great as God - One Who created everything - how does one give Him thanks for this creation and life? How does one really show thankfulness by doing as God did for us... giving something back to God? What can you give to God that will benefit Him, since he can create a creation a thousand times more glorious than this one if He wants?

In addition, What is there that can benefit God? After all, God can devise anything, make anything, plan any plan, do infinitely great wonders, bring forth wisdom and knowledge beyond any capability of understanding; nothing is limited in any way with God.

Rather, thank and praise God that He has placed in you enough of Himself so that when you praise Him, He can be truly esteemed. Think of how great He has made you, that He has given you a self that can actually benefit God through praising Him!

However, if you don't directly, willingly praise Him, YOU STILL CAN'T HELP BUT TO PRAISE HIM? How? He has given you the ability to reject Him. And Anybody that has given people the freedom to reject the only Power in and beyond the universe, is super wonderful GREAT. So, you use your ability that He has given, to reject Him, thereby worshiping Him through using what He has given... even though you destroy yourself by doing it this way.

but for me the most simple answer is that yes being Muslim we have a strong belief of ALLAH. He is the creator of mankind. we have to return to  him and we will answer for our deeps. Allah has to give the reward of the deeds of the human beings.

oh thats actually really interesting.  i was going to facepalm at the beginning because every time i see such a tittle its most likely religious things...
 but it was very interesting ^^. and i have heard just like others over here, about people waking up after 30 minutes of being dead or something. Thats amazing!

after that duration majority/all of your braincells are dead.

there are actually a few study's that suggest consciousness continues after death. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/bering-in-mind/ian-stevensone28099s-case-for-the-afterlife-are-we-e28098skepticse28099-really-just-cynics/  that said this does not mean i think there is an all mighty god...
