The idea of an afterlife is often one of the main points of contention between religious believers and skeptics. The religious approach implies that consciousness can exist separately from the body, but science suggests otherwise. Evidence shows that brain damage alters personality, memory, and other cognitive processes, so skeptics find a mind separate from the body highly unlikely.
Riley Courtright grew up with a scientific mindset, but her outlook changed when she flatlined for 50 minutes and supposedly met God. She shared her story on a YouTube podcast. Riley explains she was transported to heaven, where time and color were completely different from Earth. After spending what felt like years with the Creator, she was sent back, and her genetic disorder was completely healed.
