Don't take credit away from the doctors.

.

A story from AP during the week:

Mr Hermanstorfer's wife, Tracy, went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing during labor last Thursday, said Dr Stephanie Martin, a maternal foetal specialist at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, where the Hermanstorfers had gone for the birth of their son. Moments later Mr Hermanstorfer cradled his newborn son's limp body after a medical team delivered the baby by caesarean section.

In a few minutes his son would begin to breathe again under the feverish attention of doctors, and soon he learned his wife had also inexplicably come back to life after emergency surgery.

''We did a thorough evaluation and can't find anything that explains why this happened,'' Dr Martin said.

But Mr Hermanstorfer credits ''the hand of God''.

''We are both believers … but this right here, even a nonbeliever - you explain to me how this happened? There is no other explanation,'' he said.

It could be just luck, Mr Hermanstorfer. Luck and exceptionally talented doctors. What's wrong with that as an explanation?

Friends have asked Mrs Hermanstorfer if she saw a light or had experiences described by others who had survived near-death experiences. She didn't.

''I just felt like I was asleep,'' she said.

Yes! I firmly believe that death is like being in a dreamless sleep.

Just without the alarm clock at the end.
