Do you think that the German scientists in the original experiment were trying to prove that the afterlife did exist? Their belief influenced their results. If I had done the experiment I would not have reached their conclusion because I I do not think that a NDE, when you are still alive (if rather tenuously), is the same as actual dying, when you are dead.
TT You asked when I realised I thought there was no god. I honestly can't ever remember really believing that there was, but I am sure that if I did have any shreds of belief left I would have been praying furiously when I was (officially!) so ill when my baby was born. I am not in any way a militant atheist. I hope that anyone who has a sincere belief in god continues to enjoy that comfort forever. I just don't share it.
