I did. Several posts back and so did others.
I explained the problems with those in my subsequent posts. I discussed the problems with yours, particularly, in post #32. If you read the example given of "one detailed NDE account from the report" in that post, you see: that there is too much detail in a "Core Experience" NDE for it to have been a "hallucination/dream" taken place within the 10-second window between the time that the heart stops beating and a person's brain's electrical activities come to a complete halt.
"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." (1 Peter 3:15)
The "Test of Life" is not whether you can blindly "worship and praise God”. The test in life is whether or not you can live your life according to virtue, and live a life that reverberates waves of positive energy, building people up, as Jesus His son perfectly exemplified. We can choose lives of virtue as is God's will, or to choose lives of selfishness, arrogance, and other vices which have led to the plague of humanity we have found on earth. If people choose vice, that is their choice. Do not judge them (1 Corinthians 5:12 ). But He sent Jesus as a prime example of virtue so that we could see the light and choose it, instead of poisoning the earth with lives of darkness. Many, including even "Christians," have failed in this regard. But Christianity is supposed to be the message of love, hope, faith, unity, and virtue, that creates heaven on Earth.
