"Instead, the brain may merely be a transmitter and receiver for information, a conclusion that was reached independently by computer scientist Simon Berkovich and brain researcher Herms Romijn. "

---yes. I certainly believe that. I think our brains are like antennae- tuned to your personal spiritual "frequency" if you will. Fascinating stuff.

Butr life after death? Who knows. When you "die" on the operating table, you're not actually dead- in that your cells haven't started to break down. Now Lazurus- from the Bible- HE was actually dead. 4 days in the desert. Wow, that was life after death. I bet he had some stories to tell.

Beat me to it. There is a difference between clinical death - where one of several life processes stops - and actual death, where decay and deterioration starts to happen.

If you can be started back up, you were not actually dead to begin with.

"...the brain may merely be a transmitter and receiver for information..."

What physical interaction mediates this transmission and reception? Where's the evidence for such an interaction? Where are the specific transmission and reception sites in the brain? Why haven't brain anatomists seen such sites?

Sheesh...

If there was a way to prove there was life after death without accepting it by faith the credit card collection people would have discovered it by now.

Holy Tradition says Lazarus (who became the first Bishop of Cyprus) told no tales, never laughed after his resurrection, and only smiled once--upon seeing a man stealing a piece of pottery, he smiled and said, "Clay stealing clay."

Many years ago there was a doctor who claimed he proved there were souls. Supposedly, he would put scales under a dying person's bed and at the time of death, the scales showed a decrease in weight of about 4 oz. Hence, a soul weighs 4 oz. Whatever.

Shared NDE's would be more compelling evidence -- i.e., two or more experience NDE and report on themselves and the others.

(Not that I don't believe.)

The radio model of the brain has much to recommend it. This was suggested by Cayce and his feeling that he read an akashic record that would be available to anyone. There is a gap where we don't know and probably can't know, how thought, will, actuates the efferent nerves, or if it does. Most have not figured out there is a problem here, but until a decent explanation comes forth, the various models of the brain, including the popular computer model, all have about as much explanatory value.
