What do you guys think, assuming he was not lying about his experience?
Do I believe he has some sort of experience? Yes.
The chemistry of the brain when it is dying, is going haywire. It is a natural effect of a human brain being in distress.
Do I believe he predicted world events? Or went to hell? No.
There is no reason to evoke the supernatural, for that which we have better natural explanations for.
I seem to be seeing a common thread in the forum threads you've been starting.
You seem to think that, if there is no definitive explanation for some phenomena, that gives some sort of credence to a supernatural explanation. But that is not the case.
At this point I would recommend a book written by Car Sagan called "The Demon Haunted World". It is basically a bullshit detector. No offense, but your critical thinking skills are not the best.
And even if we didn't have a natural explanation it still doesn't mean it was supernatural or what he believes he experienced
