A lot of people believe there is evidence behind there being a heaven. There are many reported cases of people saying they have "died, gone to heaven, and come back" but I will explain to you why this is false. Our brain contains a chemical, dimethyltryptamine (DMT). The chemical, DMT, is released in our sleep and has been proven to be the reason why we get visual hallucinations when we dream. Research shows that when your brain knows you're going to die, it releases an extreme amount of DMT ( much, much more than when you sleep). Now what if when these people who claim they have gone to heaven and come back, were actually close to death so their brain release a large amount of the drug which made them practically hallucinate and believe they were in heaven. Once they are revived they believe they have "visited heaven" but what if it was actually just a visual hallucination?
Let me know what you think

Damn you could be onto something here.

Edit: Thinking about this for a while made me freak out i was thinking when you're dead maybe you will continue your life in a dream or you just dream forever...

He is saying these claims that have people been to heaven are false.

I'm 70% sure he thinks once we die we just rot in the ground.
As do I.

Not too sure about the whole dreaming the world up after death thing.
To be dead you have to be completely brain dead.
From what we know, there is a shed load of neurological activity going on while we sleep, and dream.

Even with this chemical flooding our brain, if the brain isn't alive and working it can't affect it.

The only way that I will ever believe in an afterlife is if,
a) I die and see one
b) The existence of the soul/spirit is proven and is shown to be separate from our consciousness and bodies.

I respect your research, however I am strong in my Christian faith and I still believe that we do go to a heaven when we die.

I'm not going to argue with you or anyone else either. It's just what I believe.

Good theory. But what I wonder is how these people recall them so well, considering it is practically a dream, and we forget our dreams so quickly. But other than that this is a good thought :2thumbsup:
