Human brain may stay active for hours after death
The team of scientists from New York’s Stony Brook University of Medicine, looked at patients with cardiac arrests in Europe and the US. They noted that those of the patients who were successfully resuscitated after their heart had stopped beating could recall the conversations around them between the healthcare personnel and were aware of their surroundings. Study leader Dr. Sam Parnia said that the patients could describe in details what happened around them. He explained that the time death is declared is the one when the heart stops beating. As the heart stops beating, it stops pumping blood to the brain and slowly the brain begins to shut down, he explains. He added that this process of the brain shutting down slowly may take hours and the person may be dead during this time but aware of their surroundings. |

In Ephesians 1:18-19, Paul prayed for the Ephesians to comprehend how great God’s power was in their lives. In fact, he says the power is “incomparably great,” meaning that there is no power like it (v. 19). There is no power greater—not the atomic bomb, not love, not hate, nor anything else.

The Bible said:
“God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?” The Quran said: “[God is] Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you from yourselves, mates, and among the cattle, mates; He multiplies you thereby. There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.’’ |

Angela Morrow, RN, BSN, CHPN, is a certified hospice and palliative care nurse. She wrote;
When a person knows they are dying, they have the opportunity to do five important things: 1. Apologize for past mistakes 2. Forgive others for their mistakes 3. Thank those people who matter most 4. Say "I love you" to those they love 5. Say goodbye Without the opportunity to do these valuable things, your loved one could die with unfinished business. |

A study evaluated the VMAT2 gene expression in 1000 religious persons compared to 1000 non-religious.
It found that the more genes to be expressed, as well as the talented people being religious and belief in God and the hereafter will be even more. But the important thing is that, living environment and ecosystem of life and lifestyle affect the expression of this gene. In other words, with the performance and activity of the gene VMAT2, being religious in human beings is remarkable, but the lifestyle and living ecosystem can also increase or decrease the speed performance of these genes and play an important role. |

World War I began after the assassination of Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand by South Slav nationalist Gavrilo Princip on June 28, 1914.
The assassination set off a chain of events that led to war in early August 1914. The Serbian extremist group wanted to increase Serbian power in the Balkans by breaking up the Austro-Hungarian Empire. World War II began in Europe on September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. Great Britain and France responded by declaring war on Germany on September 3. The war between the U.S.S.R. and Germany began on June 22, 1941, with Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union. The war in the Pacific began on December 7/8, 1941, when Japan attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor and other American, Dutch, and British military installations throughout Asia. The Allied landings at Normandy on June 6, 1944, opened a second front in Europe, and Germany's abortive offensive at the Ardennes in the winter of 1944–45 marked the Third Reich's final push in the west. The Red Army advanced from the east and effectively claimed all the territory under its control for the Soviet sphere. The Allied armies converged on Berlin. Adolf Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945, and the war in Europe ended on May 8. The American “island hopping” campaign had destroyed key Japanese installations throughout the Pacific. Hundreds of thousands were killed in firebombings of Japanese cities, and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 knocked Japan out of the war. It's estimated roughly 70,000 to 135,000 people died in Hiroshima and 60,000 to 80,000 people died in Nagasaki, both from acute exposure to the blasts and from long-term side effects of radiation. |

Disasters caused by man and governments around the world.
Apart from the disaster of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs that everyone knows, there are others: The first: the Aberfan mine disaster in Britain. In 1869 the Welsh village of Aberfan arose around a nearby colliery. In 1966 the village became surrounded by seven piles of mining waste. When a rainstorm hit the area, the village was drenched in rain, and piles of rubbish collapsed. A batch of radioactive debris was released and quickly headed towards the village. 144 people died, including 116 children. Second: the Seveso disaster in Italy. In 1976, a valve broke at a chemical plant north of Milan. The factory was producing a chemical as a chemical weapon. This incident resulted in the release of a highly toxic chemical cloud. The wind carried the cloud and polluted the land and vegetation in Seveso municipality and others in the region. Much of the vegetation had withered, and thousands of animals had died. The disaster also had a long-term impact, as studies found that more local residents died of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and certain types of cancer increased in the affected areas. Third: the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine. It occurred in 1986. It was the result of a test error in which the engineers were unable to shut down the reactors. One of the reactors exploded, releasing radioactive material into the atmosphere. And the wind carried it to the skies of more than 12 countries. Ukrainian authorities put the number of victims at 8,000. There are an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 abortions in Europe, after the Chernobyl disaster, as a result of radiation to avoid the birth of deformed children. Fourth: Asbestos clouds in the American Libby Montana. Toxic dust from vermiculite mines has killed hundreds of residents and injured thousands more. In 1919, vermiculite was discovered. But some types of metal contain asbestos, which causes a myriad of lung problems. It is estimated that 400 Libby residents have died, and nearly 3,000 more are currently suffering from disease. The mine closed in 1990, but the devastation caused by the mining industry in Libby did not receive national attention, or receive government intervention until 1999 when the US Environmental Protection Agency stepped in and began cleaning up the town. In 2011, a court judge agreed to a $43 million settlement with more than 1,300 complainants. About 200 of those plaintiffs began receiving their share of the settlement in 2012, more than a decade after the first lawsuit was filed. |

The God Gene Hypothesis proposes that humanity's spiritual affiliation is hereditary and that a specific gene, called (VMAT2), prepares humans for spiritual affiliation or mysticism. The idea was proposed by geneticist Dean Hamer in his book The God Gene: How Faith is Hardwired in Our Genes. That is, how faith is built into our genes. The hypothesis is based on behavioral, neurobiological, and psychological genetic studies. He found that the genetic VMAT2 plays an important role in regulating brain activities associated with mystical beliefs. Rowthorn concluded that nearly all people have a genetic predisposition toward religion, and although some will lean toward secularism, they will carry the religiosity gene with them. The Quran says; Certainly We have created human in distress. Have We not given him a pair of eyes? And a tongue and two lips. And We have shown him the two ways ˹of right and wrong˺. Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful. |

Near-death experiences (NDEs) are reported by about 17% of those who nearly die. NDEs have been reported by children, adults, scientists, physicians, priests, ministers, among the religious and atheists, and from countries throughout the world.
While no two NDEs are the same, there are characteristic features that are commonly observed in NDEs. These characteristics include a perception of seeing and hearing apart from the physical body, passing into or through a tunnel, encountering a mystical light, intense and generally positive emotions, a review of part or all of their prior life experiences, encountering deceased loved ones, and a choice to return to their earthly life. |

Perhaps the end of the world is the day the people stop going to church and Christians are scattered. The best thing ever would be for all religion to disappear. Religion in essence was pure but man distorted it and as a result millions have died and suffered. Yes, all religions will disappear before the Day of Judgment. The Messiah, Jesus will appear, and the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad will appear too. The believers, Christians, Jews and Muslims, will follow them in one religion. It is true that religion was pure in its essence, but some people distorted it. Some of them are clerics and some of them are politicians. Some religions have produced wars in the past. But politicians and governments are now producing wars and destruction that may be more than what some religions have caused. |

After death
Clinical death is medically defined as a state in which the heart and lungs stop working, but the other body systems remain alive, especially the brain, and the dead person remains heard and can be revived, but when the brain die, after a lack of oxygen, death is final. Researchers previously thought that nearly all brain activity stopped one minute after death. But later they found that brain activity can continue for more than 10 minutes after the death of the body. Canadian doctors in the intensive care unit noticed that the brain of a person continued to function even after he was declared dead, the pulse stopped, and the pupils did not react. The patient's brain shows the same type of brain waves that appear during deep sleep. The doctors did not know what the purpose of this activity was. What happens to the body and mind after death remains completely a mystery to scientists. Two studies have shown that genes seem to continue working - and even work more dynamically - in the days following a person's death. This means that, persons might hear their death decision announced by doctors, said Dr. Sam Parnia, director of critical care and resuscitation research at New York College of Medicine. He also said that they studied people who had died of cardiac arrest, but were later revived. It appeared that they were aware of the full conversations and vision of the things that were around them, even after they were declared dead. These matters were then verified by the medical staff who were present at the time. "There is evidence that there is an explosion of brain energy when a person dies," he added. My note: angels know every person by his DNA and God can retains the spirit of dead body in a type of body to live after death in Hell or Paradise according to his deeds in this life. |

The famous English philosopher and scientist Francis Bacon made an intriguing assertion about atheism. Here are three versions:
(1) A little philosophy makes men atheists, though a great deal would cure them of Atheism. (2) A little knowledge drives man away from God, but deeper knowledge brings him back. (3) A little knowledge may take us away from God, but further knowledge will bring us back to him. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2018/08/25/philosophy/ |

You accuse religion of everything negative because you took your thoughts from the books of atheists. The real thing is that governments are responsible for the negatives and problems of the world, not religions. Atheists took advantage of the mistakes of the church and wrote books that deceived some people. Governments encouraged atheism and supported associations and groups to work against religions. So you evaded the answer to my question: Can you or medicine determine when, how and where you will die? And I add another question for you: Suppose that God really exists by 1% and He command angels to throw you into the fire of hell, what will you say? |

God or Nature?
by Grant Bartley What our natural history was is a different issue from the purpose of it – the implication being that the answer to the God question will not be found through evolutionary debate. I would argue that science ultimately cannot deal with questions of purpose, that is, of teleology, of the need to justify existence, because on the contrary, science’s field of study is the detail of the mechanism and material of the physical world. https://philosophynow.org/issues/71/God_or_Nature Albert Einstein Quotes on Spirituality I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details. Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind. My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble. God does not play dice with the universe. God is subtle but he is not malicious. The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books—-a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenetrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sentiment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself among profoundly religious men. https://www.simpletoremember.com/articles/a/einstein/ |

Brian Dennert wrote; WHAT EVIDENCE IS THERE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD? In this post I want to explore some of other reasons that not only point to the existence of God, but show the evidence of God outweighs the evidence that He does not exist and also to remind us that both those who say God exists and those who say He does not exist but provide evidence to justify their claim and, ultimately, combine both reason and faith. https://wearefaith.org/blog/what-evidence-is-there-for-the-exesent-of-god/ So realistically, all it really takes to prove to anyone that real evidence doesn't exist, is the basic fact that I/they haven't already seen it. The human’s mind and senses are limited. Not even medicine can tell you how and when you will die. Likewise, you cannot know what will happen after death. The man believes what he sees and touches easily, but it is difficult for him to believe the spiritual things. That is why God gave His prophets miracles, yet those who deny the prophets said that they are magicians. |

Lazarus You wrote some of ideas simply as some writers did. They and you haven’t any scientific evidence that God is not exists. It is impossible to prove the non existence of anything. The point is to prove that things do exist, and that's how we build a solid foundation for our shared reality. Robert Nelson wrote: Recognizing that he could not reconcile his own scientific materialism with the existence of a nonphysical world of human consciousness, a leading atheist, Daniel Dennett, in 1991 took the radical step of denying that consciousness even exists. Another leading philosopher, Thomas Nagel, wrote in 2012 that, given the scientifically inexplicable – the “intractable” – character of human consciousness, “we will have to leave [scientific] materialism behind” as a complete basis for understanding the world of human existence. As an atheist, Nagel does not offer religious belief as an alternative, but I would argue that the supernatural character of the workings of human consciousness adds grounds for raising the probability of the existence of a supernatural god. |

God created the man and favored him over other beings with his mind that made him able to distinguish between good and evil. God ordered him to do good and avoid evil.
God said in the Bible: Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. God said in the Quran: And from among you there must be a party who invite people to all that is good and enjoin the doing of all that is right and forbid the doing of all that is wrong. It is they who will attain true success. God also warned against preventing goodness and indicated that the consequent punishment is Hell. In the Quran: [God will say], “Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever. Who forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts and suspicions’’ ‘’The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the idolaters shall be for ever in the Fire of Gehenna (Hell). They are the worst of all creatures.’’ ‘’But those who believe and do good deeds are the best of all creatures. Their recompense is with their Lord; Gardens of Eden, underneath which rivers flow, where they shall live for ever. Allah {God} is wellpleased with them, and they are wellpleased with Him. That is for he who fears his Lord! ‘’ |
