No law that says you can't believe it if you wish, but I find it silly to believe knowing that the people who wrote that story had no modern knowledge of human biology back then.
I find it silly to believe resurrections are the stuff of fiction and magic. Consciousness is lost and restored to various degrees during comatose, anesthesia, and sleep―there is nothing special about death that logically exempts it from similar restoration. Neural regeneration is an active field of study. And we have several disciplines (including neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and clinical psychology) whose entire focus is the restoration of health in the brain and mind.
You are not just making an argument against religion―you are getting in the way of human progress.
Do you seriously think Christians are the only religion that tries to use science to point to their club? How many Jews, Muslims, Hindus or Buddhists have you debated?
It is absolutely true that humans have come out of comas, anesthesia, and sleep, but that does not mean they were dead, it just means conditions allowed for that individual to come out of it. Permanent death is beyond repair. Not detecting vital signs doesn't always mean permanent death. Misdiagnosis also does not constitute permanent death.
If consciousness could survive permanent death one could literally put a shotgun in their mouth, blow their brains out, and come back from it. Funny how nobody survives that. Funny how when people come out of the states you listed, their head and brain are in tact and the damage is minimal or nothing.
You cannot treat, say a car tire, as the entire engine. Blow up that engine, the car will not work even if the tire is not flat. One part is not the sum of all the parts. A single atom cannot act like an entire in tact undamaged brain.
NDE,s are bullshit claims, and "near" gives it away. "Near" isn't beyond repair, just "near".
You are literally your brain in motion, nothing more. Damage it enough you will not get back to 100% normal. Damage it beyond repair, you eventually die. No more you. Just like if you blew up your car engine, your car will not run anymore.
