Hindus do not report seeing Zeus, Christians do not report meeting Mohammed, and Muslims never seem to encounter Joseph Smith. And no one ever gets greeted by a long-forgotten god from an extinct prehistoric religion.

Not all experiencers meet prominent figures, many meet people they new in life that have passed. As for meeting historic religious leaders to me it only makes sense that they would meet the religious leader of their beliefs.

Ah yes, good old "makes sense" epistemology. If you can somehow make your hypothesis consistent with the facts, then you can conclude that it is true. There's a reason science doesn't work this way.

By the way, what do you make of people experiencing NDEs featuring people who are actually still alive?
