Art, you can deny science all you like, but it will come back with the ultimate truths in the end. Your quotes on stuff like Babel are man-made constructs of fables - you might as well be stating that Rumplestiltskin was real. And if you are referring to your ape story as a way of ridiculing the process (a proven process by the way) of evolution and instead suggesting that some God created everything in a week, you have joined the idiotic creationists across the pond.
I make one apology too - I lazily mis-spoke by using the term carbon dating (used for carbon based objects up to 50k years old) and should have said Radiometric Dating. Dating can now be performed on samples as small as a nanogram using a mass spectrometer. And an accuracy of better than +/- 500k years over a timespan of 4bn years is fairly sufficient.
Finally, Chinese burn money ('good paper') to ensure that the spirit of the deceased has lots of good things in the afterlife. Their concept, Art, but emphatically neither heaven nor hell, and certainly no more real. Just another human construct by those with no concept of eternal nothingness, and desperate (and scared) enough to invent a comfort blanket of an afterlife.

I haven't denied observation! You have!
I have done these things! before coming across this video today! not to the same degree, but I do have an intrinsic comprehension!

This has actually been tested, many times. I remember some hospitals placing pictures above the patient with only the underside of the picture visible from below. None who reported out-of-body experiences were able to describe the pictures.

that could be the reason She was impoverished the rest of Her life? most People where illiterate and relied heavily on the ministerial interpretation. I was reading not long ago that wealth is the reward for faithful and diligent Godly service. I was intrigued why a Woman needs to have a hoop in Her nose? curious if that is from indian origin? though hindu seem to require the nostrils be pierced. as yet I never found out why?
I don’t know why some people have nose piercing, same as ear piercings I suppose but cultural, ie. others around them do it.
Christina jumped into fires and some dangerous stuff so I’m guessing there was some brain damage there. May also be why she was impoverished. A lot of homeless folks have PTSD and find it difficult to lead a conventional life.
did you not read about her death experience? if you did you would knows that the homelessness was a very minor inconvenience to her in relation to the good she was doing relieving the suffering of those in purgatory. That's how intense the experience was for her.
There are many accounts of those who have died and have been given the choice whether or not to return to earth to continue some sort of spiritual work.
her account was not greatly different than others who have experienced this. -So to claim that this was all caused by brain damage assumes that many many people suffered just the same brain damage as she did to experience the same brain damaged thoughts that she did. ...That line of reasoning makes no sense.
In addition she was a religious--who even before this seizure was living a life of prayer,works,poverty and penance in the service of God. Its not as if any of those things changed. They just became more urgent...and for very good reason.
It was specifically those dangerous things she did and her seizures that makes me wonder if she was brain damaged in some way. Those extremes could be put down to devout beliefs but nowadays you’d look at the science. Are any devout believers jumping into furnaces or freezing cold water today? There are people who do strange things like sitting on a bed of nails or walking over hot coals to prove how beyond the earthly body they are, so I suppose that’s similar.

I was resuscitated on the ground by my buddy beating on my chest. Woke up in the ambulance with pretty much total amnesia. Didnt know where I was or even my mother's name.
I also woke up on the operating table. Not fully awake, but they will start talking to you towards the end to get you to start coming out of it. You sorta have a foggy recollection of being there. I remember seeing them stapling a skin graft to my leg.
For the record, I remember nothing about being out right after the accident.
