Curious to know

[Magilla]

Suppose some respected member of this forum had an NDE.
After that they come back here on the forum telling that God exist.
Would you believe them and give up atheism or no thinking that they just had
some sort of hallucination?  

To me, it would prove one thing only, namely that the person thought they had had a near death experience.

Suppose we grant that they did have some kind of experience. It would not tell us anything much. I have no problem with concluding that some people have had hallucinatory experiences when near to death, and that they may have been convinced that the hallucination was something more. But neither I nor they could claim to have reliable information about what actually happened.

We know that the brain does not make accurate recordings of memories, but rather reconstructs past happenings in a person's life. The NDE may be a reconstruction of something well after the person has revived, made up out of a completely physical event, (or maybe nothing at all), into something meaningful. And don't overlook the fact that an NDE is not an experience of death, but one of an uncommon experience in the life of some people.
