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.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
