A near-death experience is an experience reported by someone who is clinically brain-dead or nearly died, or had actually died for a short amount of time and came back to life on Earth. Common reports in near-death experiences involve feeling out of one's body seeing events around themselves, and the seeing of bright lights and experiences of feeling like one is floating. Some have interpreted such experiences as evidence for an afterlife while skeptics and many scientists have dismissed the experiences as hallucinations. Many atheistics believe this is nerve impulses, but if there are nerve impulses, there must of been song brain activity detected. [1] However, the evidence for this claim is not sufficient because the brain cannot hallucinate while it is clinically dead. Most people (and many other scientists) generally accept this as evidence of an afterlife. However, many Christians suspect that NDEs may be the result of demonic influences.
