    "Anatomy of the Soul?"

    Has anyone here read, or heard of, the book "Anatomy of the Soul: Mind, God, and the Afterlife" by neuroscientist Stephen Goldberg? I recently came across the title, author name, and this description: Unfortunately, that's about all I can find on the book. There are no detailed reviews...

    NDE contradictions

    I've been reading through the submitted NDE accounts on IANDS, NDERF, and near-death.com (the latter strikes me as rather troubling; the webmaster has the site loaded with the same sort of editorial commentary that Alex is so fond of, albeit near-death's is less combative).

    Ian Stevenson vs. Champe Ransom

    After all the buzz over Sheldrake's Wikipedia page, I took a look at other psychical articles on the site. Ian Stevenson's page has been revised over the past year as well.
