Why exactly is this any different? Why would you assume something as bizarre and vague as "God" as a starting point and expect people to prove you wrong? The starting point is "we don't know". Brains producing weird shit under extreme stress is a very simple and reasonable explanation, one which is backed by evidence.
I could hold a similarly absurd position that dreams all actually happen, and invite people to prove me wrong. All it shows is I don't understand how evidence works.
And again, you can have a NDE that doesn't (in reality) involve anything to do with the supposed supernatural. I think Rik believes a NDE is by definition some sort of interaction with the spirit realm. It isn't. The fact that so many people interpret it that way is irrelevant. If that is what Rik means by a NDE, he needs to use another term.
Roberto, you get confused once again.
Forget about the brain.
The heart stop working, the blood and oxygen stop flowing in the head-brain so the brain is off.
How the hell can this brain produce hallucinations?
Have you ever seen a car run without fuel in it or a dead donkey pull a cart?
Get real Roberto.
It is the consciousness that take over after the body is dead that produce the experience in the other
dimension not an hallucinated brain.
If the 'brain is off', that's called being dead. Not near-death.
