Holy Horus: The Jesus Origin Exposed; The Real Truth About Religion and Its Origins, and Annuit Coeptis Novus Ordo Seclorum
On a separate note, for Stephen Hawking’s ‘conventional afterlife is a fairy tale’ followers, I remind them of the First Law of Thermodynamics – Energy Can Not Be Created Nor Destroyed, Merely Transformed. And submit that life or a ’soul’ is essentially energy and must conform to the Laws of Energy, at least on a scientific basis. Circumstantial and coincidental evidence of energy ‘surviving’, transferring, making itself known to some, seems to support the scientific evidence. http://edwardmd.wordpress.com/2013/09/18/the-real-truth-about-religion-and-its-origins/

Um, this is nonsense, as is the PNAS article. Electrical signals in the dying rat brain have as much to do with interpretation of the human near-death experience as dishwater has to do with Dom Perignon. Rodent experiments in neurophysiology have approximately zero translation to humans, and in fact are usually irreproducible in the lab. So this speculative rat paper is only useful (but probably not) if you want to guess what your dying rat is experiencing.
