In chapter 4 of LADTE, D'Souza presents three concrete statements from the viewpoints of many scientific point of views, like neuroscience, philosophy, and morality. He supports his claim by examining the reason behind people's near-death experiences (NDEs), with the the theories from brain science, physics, biology, psychology, history, and philosophy. He believes that life after death exists, and that it can be beneficial. He discovered many expert testimony, that accounts of near-death experiences, and quotes from scientists, philosophers, and others as needed. "Near-death experiences show that clinical death may not be the end," D'Souza writes. They all lead to his larger point, that "neuroscience reveals that the mind cannot be reduced

He was able to demonstrate that people can have near death experiences, and that a soul exists. D'Souza analyzes his claim by using philosophy, physics, and brain science toward his conclusion to convince others that he is making a reasonable statement. He goes on to draw “upon his broad knowledge of the latest discoveries in fields as diverse as cosmology and neuroscience, he makes a powerful case for life after death.” . most of the "greats" of modern philosophy (1600s on) and their belief/disbelief concerning life after death, the mind-body connection, materialism. He concludes by showing how life after death can give depth and significance to this life, a path to happiness, and reason for hope. D’Souza shows why we can expect that what Shakespeare called the “undiscovered country” will be discovered by us all. Musolino disagrees with D'souza statement regarding science and how it provides persuasive evidence for the immortality of the soul itself. In Musolino’s view the scientific consensus goes precisely in the opposite direction: away from the soul and the afterlife, mentioned before in chapter 2. Musolino passionately disagrees with the conclusion that science supports the notion of an immortal soul, but scientists have abandoned the soul because it requires reason and
