Booknotes: Evidence of the Afterlife
Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences (Hardcover): Just Featured in TIME Magazine. Credible, Provocative Study That Leads to the Conclusion There is Some Sort of Spiritual Life After Death.
By Jeffrey Long, M.D.
From TIME:
“Is there life after death? Theologians can debate all they want, but radiation oncologist Dr. Jeffrey Long argues that if you look at the scientific evidence, the answer is unequivocally yes. Drawing on a decade’s worth of research on near-death experiences ? work that includes cataloguing the stories of some 1,600 people who have gone through them ? he makes the case for that controversial conclusion in a new book, Evidence of the Afterlife. Medicine, Long says, cannot account for the consistencies in the accounts reported by people all over the world.”
“Evidence of the Afterlife shares the firsthand accounts of people who have died and lived to tell about it. Through their work at the Near Death Experience Research Foundation, radiation oncologist Jeffrey Long and his wife, Jody, have gathered thousands of accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs) from all over the world.”

I am glad that near death experiences are finally coming into their own. There has been research done on them for over 30 years now, but skeptics have blocked the way for them to become well known. Yes, there is life after death, and, no, the brain does not produced consciousness. It is time for mainstream science to pay attention and change the way it does business for the future.
