MYTH-BUSTERS II: Is There Life After Death?
Dr. Jeffrey Long is a Kentucky-based radiation oncology physician who is the founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF), the world’s largest Near-Death Experiences (NDE) research center. He has studied more than 4,000 such cases and he is the co-author with Paul Perry of the New York Times best-seller, “Evidence of the After-Life.”
So are NDE’s real, credible and worthy of scientific and medical examination? In the following 22:51 interview with Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, Dr. Long describes the major indicators repeatedly documented in NDEs, as well as nine kinds of evidence that he believes make clear that support for consciousness after death.
Dr. Long also explains why he views informed skepticism as an essential characteristic in genuine science, as well as his contention that ideological rigidity can place real and continuing obstacles to the advancement of human knowledge.
