-Near Death Experience: Most people that have went through a near death experience describe similar stories to people that have been using drugs and are in a hallucinogenic state. A cause for this is oxygen deprevation to the brain.
-Reincarnation: The theory of reincarnation does not back up the number of todays population of humans on earth.
-Death: "People are considered dead when the electrical activity in their brain ceases." Once brain activity ceases, what would happen to all your thoughts and memories?
-Communicating with the dead: People that claim that they can communicate with the dead are often questioned on their validity since they give no specific information and often give vague statements.
-Ghosts: " A ghost is said to be the apparition of a dead person." Ghost are also referred as souls or spirits of a person that has passed away.
