. "Rarely is a child ever informed as to how many members of the family were killed at the site of the accident.
Shortly before children die there is often a very 'clear moment', as I call
it. Those who have remained in a coma since the accident or after the
surgery open their eyes and seem very coherent. Those who have had great
pain and discomfort are very quiet and at peace. It is in those moments that
I asked them if they were willing to share what they were experiencing.
'Yes, everything is all right now. Mommy and Peter are already waiting for
me', one boy replied. With a content little smile, he slipped back into a
coma from which he made the transition we call death.
I was quite aware that his mother had died at the scene of the accident, but
Peter had not died. He had been brought to a special burn unit in another
hospital, because the car had caught fire before he was extricated from the
wreck. Since I was only collecting data, I accepted the boy's information
and determined to look in on Peter. It was not necessary, however, because
as I passed the nursing station there was a call from the other hospital to
inform me that Peter had died a few minutes earlier.
In all the years that I have quietly collected data from California to
Sydney, Australia, from white and black children, aboriginals, Eskimos, South
Americans, and Libyan youngsters, every single child who mentioned that
someone was waiting for them mentioned a person who actually preceded them in death, if only
by a few moments. And yet none of these children had been informed of the recent death of the relatives by us at any time.
Coincidence? By now there is no scientist or statistician who could convince
me that this occurs, as some colleagues claim, as 'a result of oxygen
deprivation' or for some other 'rational and scientific' reason."
On Children and Death by Elisabeth Kubler‑Ross, M.D.
I just played tennis with an emergency room doctor and told him, "Of all the doctors I know, none of them is an atheist."
He agreed and added, "The human body is so remarkable that it had to be designed."
These are men of science of the highest order. They utilize science to save human lives.
"These are men of science of the highest order. They utilize science to save human lives."
Seems like a slur to associate "Beliebers" with evilutionist atheist scientists. Why bother with evilutionist atheist science when belief in the gods should suffice?
Doesn't prayer to the gods, rattling bones, burning incense cure disease? You're not much of a religionist if you rely on evilutionist atheist science to cure disease.
