Dr. Peter Fenwick has delt with thousands of OBEs in Near Death and says that patients sometimes have been able to "float" to another room and get information of what other people behind closed doors said. Then, they verify it.
One man was floating above his body, found a baby crying in another room. He was apparently able to talk to the baby, found out the baby had a broken arm. Then, when he was revived, he checked with doctors, and it turned out the baby's limb was broken.
Here is a video which claims there is life after death:

How can so many people accurately describe what occurs when they have a dying brain or a brain that is dead? It seems like a poorly functioning brain cannot do this. Do you think that these examples I provide, albeit anecdotal, potentially prove a soul exists?
How did Dr. Fenwick find so many cases if they are just coincidences?
Was this verified by anyone NOT biased towards faith? Was he questioned about his experience without anyone tipping him off or leading him to get him to where he might have answered vaguely enough but with enough hints that he could have guessed right and that been passed off as a legitimate answer? Did he forget about having perhaps seen the infant (or other nearby entities or events) and his memory of it was from BEFORE going into the NDE coma? Or perhaps his unconscious body hearing others talking about it triggered the images and sounds that his brain interpreted as an NDE hallucination?
What would impress me is if they were able to describe a plausible realm beyond the physical or do a remote viewing from way farther away than in the same damn hallway of the hospital.
So not only is the circumstance in which this is being reported already massively suspect, there are craploads of easy explanations that don't require Occam's Razor to get too bloody.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
