And I expect that now, since you’ve made such an absolute declaration that he did not see what he claims, that you will prove your assertion using a feasible argument? ... I’m so sorry your proclamation is as empty as you accuse this man’s assertions to be.

The entire story is built on a faulty premise. The man claims to have been clinically dead for 21 minutes. During heart surgery, the heart is bypassed, but circulation to the brain still occurs, therefore he was not clinically dead.

Now, you may wish to accept the "dream" this man experienced while under anesthesia as a vision from God. I accept it for what it was - a dream.

Do I think some of what he says about heaven is probably true? Sure. But it isn't anything we haven't already heard from religious teachers or read in the bible. I assume he's listened to teachings and read the bible in the past, so it is no surprise these things popped up in his dream.

The nerve of some people, questioning outrageous claims! It's intolerable! This has me quite vexed; therefore, I shall cease solace in the company of my collection of singing potatoes!
