Searching for Eternity: A Scientist's Spiritual Journey to Overcome Death Anxiety

"What happens when we die? Do we simply cease to exist with our consciousness obliterated for all eternity? Or do we have an enduring soul that can continue to experience awareness and some form of ongoing 'life.' Does God exist? Without a creator, how can the universe exist? What is the purpose of the universe and what is its ultimate fate? Does our behavior in day-to-day life really influence what hapens to us after we die? Why do many people believe in a heaven and a hell? What is the basis of these beliefs? Should we be anxious about our death or just enjoy life in the here-and-now? Can these ultimate mysteries be solved by science? What does science already know about the mysteries of creation? Sooner or later, all of us will face the stark reality of death. Many people go through life with an increasing awareness -- and increasing anxiety -- about their eventual fate. Dr. Don Morse, a scientist who believed in the absolute finality of death, did, too. Then his near-death experience led him on a quest to uncover what science knows about the nature of death. Dr. Morse's subsequent spiritual journey led him through the entire realm of science and religious beliefs until he came to an inescapable conclusion: Some form of an afterlife must exist. Join Dr. Morse as he summarizes the vast research and data leading to this conclusion. Near-death and out-of-body experiences, experiments creating apparitions, research attempting to weight the soul, and the wide range of ancient and modern spiritual concepts are all covered in this masterful, comprehensive scientific quest for truth."--back cover.
