NDEs are like UFO sightings. Scientific minded persons accept the phenomena as one that warrants further investigation like Sam Parnia. “Beliefers” jumps to conclusion and firmly conclude that the only possible explanation are E.T.s flying around even though it contradicts everything we know about physics.
Please note that I do accept that consciousness cannot be explained by the usual approach of reductionism. But it still takes an enormous leap of faith to believe it can exists outside of a living body. It after all emerges in a living body. The notion of the ‘self’ is not established before around 24 months after inception. Should it suddenly be able to detach?
