But scientists now claim they have dispelled this myth by artificially creating an out-of-body experience using computers and cameras.
They believe the feeling of detachment occurs when the brain becomes confused by conflict between the senses - and is not proof of any "spiritual dimension" to existence.

Leave 'em be, this stuff makes them feel really uncomfortable so they need a way to explain it away. No need to go pointing out that it didn't prove anything or was a really flawed experiment.

for example the case where a blind from birth woman had an OBE and after being revived was able to describe the colours and patterns of the medical workers uniform AND the numbers on a label ON TOP OF a celing lights shade

I would leave them be but then we will have more retarded hypotheticals like big bangs, or in biologys case, free radicals. of course science only see's OBE's as an aspect of the mind, to them there is the body and the mind and that is the human. apparently mainstream science doesn't have room for the soul.

I had some out of body experiences, even moreso as a child, and I figured it had more to do with my physiology and my brain than with actually leaving my body.
