Has Neurology disproven the afterlife?

I was just curious about any up to date reasearch!

How do you think that it would?
Does understanding how the ear responds to sound disprove that sound exists?

Im not sure how that's logical. Can you elaborate?

His question is exactly the same as yours and they are both absurd questions. Perhaps you should rephrase...

I think perhaps what Smith is referring to is neurological research of near-death experiences.

I'll refrain from commenting until he clarifies his intent for this thread.

Is this like the idea that because they see certain areas of the brain relate to religious experiences, they think that outlaws relgious experiences? Even some scientists that did that research couldn't say that was for sure. How do we know that God didn't either put the part of the brain to receive these religious experiences, or how do we know that just because of part of the brain is activated by a religious experience, how do we know that these things still are not real, and they just are recorded or experienced in that part of the brain? Neurological science may show where something is recorded, but it doesn't outlaw that something was real or really happened.

Which is what I think Gerbil was referring to in his comment about ears. Just because we know how the ear works, does not prove that sound does not exist.
Just because we know how the brain processes religious experiences, does not prove they do not exist.
Not that we fully understand how the brain works yet, I'm just saying...

If you wish to look into it further, check out books to do with it, like 'God and the Brain, Why God Won't Go Away' or something like that, a book of a similar title. There is also a thing where you could look up the research done on the after life, etc. experiences. A book I have about God has some things in there relating to someone that did research on these 'out of body experiences' and 'after death experiences' and especially relating to seeing them looking down on an operating table relating what happened, or relating what happened after an accident. I find that when I read of childrens experiences in some of these things, I tend to be more believing. Especially when stories are related to these things happening from looking down from above. Some will say that these things could be explained away with accute hearing, etc. but that doesn't explain someone describing the colour of buttons on resucitating machines, etc.
