So, a natural explanation is crazy, but a supernatural one is not? Think about all the presuppositions required to believe that a NDE is a real experience. A natural explanation requires no presuppositions, only the evidence at hand.
Seems much more sane, and rational, to me.
Here's a question for you. Why do Hindus, for example, have different experiences when they have NDE's than Christians? If an NDE is supposed to be a real experience based on the existence of a specific afterlife, don't you think that Hindus should have the same NDE experience?
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.
