People only have so much time in their lives they can't and shouldn't remain agnostic on all claims. Initially I rejected NDE claims of consciousness after death, because quite frankly if it were truly well evidenced, I'm sure I would have heard of it by now.
Sigh. You would have heard of it by now? Have you ever heard the saying "if the mountain won't come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain"?
Let's see if you are open minded enough to carefully read just two links:
Start with a very basic one from Wiki. (Don't be selective, read it all in context)
And a little more complicated: NDERF. (There is some "New Age" stuff in this one, but also scientific articles, and 1,800 NDEs)
Challenge me.
