I saw a show on popular television last night assessing different ideas of Heaven and the afterlife. Many conflicting and controversial beliefs brought me back to thinking about things I haven’t thought much about in a long time. Is there rebirth or eternal life? Who goes to hell? How do you accept Jesus Christ as your savior and let him into your heart? When people report of near death experiences, was it truly heaven’s “white light” they saw or just the brain’s chemical reaction to a lack of oxygen; the brain’s beginning reaction to shutting down for good? I don’t think we’ll ever really know these things with absolute certainty, but faith is all that’s really important in these kind of debates anyway. You can’t really shake faith, it’s the last to die, and many don't ever experience it until they have to or they're made to.
The December solstice – the moment when the sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator – comes at 1:35 p.m. today, marking the start of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Does this have anything to do with heaven? I don’t know. wishful winter.

we watched the show as well, I thought the scientist discovery in his research of 1000 about the DNA and brain scans were interesting.
