Note about the credible journal sites: It's always good to distinguish between the results of a study, and the interpretations of these results and conclusions drawn. Don't be quick to jump to extraordinary conclusions when the results are yet inconclusive. There may very well be a naturalistic explanation for the apparent vividness of NDEs that has yet to be picked up on (it it hasn't been already).
Good point and I agree with you. In some past comments I admitted that: even if we can't explain it doesn't make it supernatural. I still don't get 2 things fully: consistency in hell ndes and the fact that christians tend to report seeing Jesus quite often while people from other faiths don't report seeing as many of their dieties ex: Muhammad or Krishna. However, that may have more to do with conditioning. Anyways, I want to see more studies. If more and more studies keep failing, I will have no choice but to reject my potential thought of afterlife, and I will become atheist.
Christians see Jesus because that expectation is drilled into many of their psyches starting in childhood. Sure, they say that you'll see your lost loved ones - but a young child rarely has many family members that have died. So many parents and teachers will tell children that the first person you will see after you die is Jesus - and he will welcome you with open arms, he will show you a perfect, glorious place, and he will answer any questions you have. "Going to see Jesus" is a major theme, so it's expected.
