I can only assume that you're being willfully ignorant now. If the brain is dead, you are dead. If the brain is NEAR death, it creates an experience that isn't real.
You have no evidence of "something else." None. Pretending that near-death experiences are something that they are not in order to push a belief is dishonest. If the only thing you can dig up as evidence isn't evidence, then it's time you found some less-ridiculous beliefs.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
