This explains absolutely nothing, and provides no evidence against the materialist view of the mind.
<<“The only way she could have had such a perspective,” said Clark, “was if she had been floating right outside and at very close range to the tennis shoe. I retrieved the shoe and brought it back to Maria; it was very concrete evidence for me.”>>
Maybe a NDE brings out what's in your subconscious mind, and she saw the shoe on her way to her hospital room at some point.
"As pointed out by renowned NDE researcher Sam Parnia, some individuals have reported an NDE when they had not been terminally ill and so would have had normal levels of oxygen in their brains."
So those weren't really near-death, were they? Here's what Sam Parnia thinks about NDE's: http://www.skeptiko.com/sam-parnia-claims-near-death-experience-probably-an-illusion http://www.skeptiko.com/sam-parnia-claims-near-death-experie....
- gruseom 15y agoMaybe [...] she saw the shoe on her way to her hospital room at some point. Maybe she floated her way into the hospital room? That's what would follow from the text you quoted. Your response seems like a good example of how we make up just-so stories to rationalize what we want to believe. First the emotions decide, then the brain comes up with reasons. I don't know if the provocative case studies in the article are as true as the author implies, but whether they're true or not is quite irrelevant to what most people, including most people called scientists, will say about it.
