Does consciousness survive death? A BBC investigation.

  • Thread starter Forestman
  • Start date
In summary: All well and good, but I'd like some sources to back all of this up. Preferably published papers and not just anecdotal evidence.I can't prove to you what I have told you, but I can promise you that it has come from people who have credentials. These are two good book that I recently read on the subject.https://www.amazon.com/dp/0061452572/?tag=pfamazon01-20https://www.amazon.com/dp/0743436598/?tag=pfamazon01-20

I see the problem. Please read my posts without thinking that I am trying to support Forestman's views or that i am claiming what he claims. I am merely putting a few scientific sources on the table, and, as i mentioned, I am not convinced either way.

Your initial post here jumps into support forestman's claim of "consciousness surviving death", which you have continued to do throughout this thread.

So far, I have not seen anything in the papers provided that is even remotely relevant to this. Support for NDE's happening at the point of nearly dying, certainly. But nothing to support the initial claims. This is where my problem stems. Claims made and evidence provided aren't discussing the same thing.

@Ivan: There is a lot of confusion here, but I hope you understand my point above and it clarifies my stance in this thread.

I'm locking this until I've had time to review the information in detail. I was in PF withdrawal and needed some play time today.
