Near Death Experiences -- Are They Real ? : A 9
page
research paper examining the validity of alleged Near Death
Experiences (NDE). Since Raymond Moody coined the term
with the publication of Life After Life in 1975, the entire issue
has been under debate. Though some researchers maintain that
the NDE is nothing more than a product of physiological
changes the body undergoes when death is imminent, their
scientific logic is found to be faulty. The body of knowledge
surrounding the NDE is too vast to be dismissed because of our
inability to clinically replicate the events encompassed by the
NDE. That same inability does nothing to prevent the stars
from existing and maintaining their positions, either. Those
who have returned unshakably hold that their experiences were
in fact very real, regardless of what some researchers want to
say about those experiences. Thus, the writer of this paper
makes a strong argument that NDEs are indeed, very real.

ESP Does It Really Exist? -- Yes ! : A 4 page paper
describing three personal-knowledge experiences of the writer
with ESP-related experiences, followed by some of the history
of Joseph Banks Rhine’s Parapsychology Laboratory opened at
Duke University in the 1930s for the purpose of empirically
investigating the existence of ESP and psychokinesis. The
paper states that nearly all of us have had some sort of
unexplainable extrasensory experience, and works to the
conclusion that ESP does in fact exist. Bibliography lists 4

The Case Against the Existence of ESP : A 4 page
paper
refuting the claims of parapsychology researchers. The paper
acknowledges that there are indeed occurrences that we cannot
understand based on the knowledge that we now have, but
maintains that our own lack of knowledge is far from sufficient
reason to conclude the existence of ESP. Many phenomena that
were unexplainable in years past have since been shown to be
attributable to natural laws, and there is little reason to conclude
that there are no more natural laws left to discover. Explanation
for the unexplainable may well come at a later date. For now,
no psychic research has been shown to be duplicatable, a prime
rule of scientific investigation. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

belief. Bibliography lists 10 sources. PGesp.wps
