Neither of those two scenarios in any way are actually similar to "Science'.
Or anything like such.
So... the first thing to ask is;
"Has anything like NDE been tested for?"
"What might even the mechanisms be for NDE's?"
"How might one go about both looking for said events as well as screening out things which might lead to a false positive"
The list goes on.
Just positing 'Dualism' and then... leaving it thre seems... wrong?

It would be a completely reasonable inference, in my opinion. If there are nonphysical causes and/or substances to reality and existence, then there is no reason, as an atheist, that I cannot come to know such phenomenon. I am an atheist because I think that physicalism is sufficient, and I see no reason to go beyond it. But, an adult amputee being healed on live TV would, basically, end my materialistic stance, which, by the way, is just that, a stance, and not a "belief system".
*Nods*
Oh yes. If some weird magic stuff would be great.
Then we could poke and prod ALL the magic!
