I think the same goes for near death experiences.  Listen to 10 or 20 accounts of these and then pick out the parts that are similar and not inconsistent with each other.  It starts to tell a story.  One that can't be completely ignored or dismissed.  Are you so close minded that you believe every person who experienced similar things after they technically died are lying or making it up?  I don't think so.  I acknowledge there may really be something to what they are saying.  At the very least, I find it quite intriguing.

I don't understand why some people are so adamant that what these people say they experienced can't be true.
The mind plays tricks. The senses shut down in a similar fashion.
For instance, how many times have you heard of people verging on unconsciousness recall losing sense of hearing or experiencing tunnel vision? A very common set of sensations...

Why wouldn't common sensations occur in "near death" events?
I'm not saying anyone is lying at all. I just find people have a tendency to see profound when mere coincidences match up.
I think the creation of the universe is profound and its very existence awe-inspiring. Cletus getting bonked on the head just doesn't do it for me.  Image

I like the very things you hate.
