I don’t know what constitutes God or the Soul. I Figure this is a normal reaction to death of brain cells and like shock, it is a way to go peacefully when being eaten by large predators. An evolutionary escape mechanism when all is lost.
of course this could all be set up by a creator....without faith I can only guess....actually with faith, one can only wonder.....
Evolutionary?
Think about it.
How do they pass that trait on, and how does it help with Darwinian selection?
“a normal reaction to death of brain cells and like shock”
You need to read the accounts, including the backgrounds of the individuals involved.
Especially the recent book “Hell is Real”.
There was nothing “peaceful” about his NDE, and it changed that atheists life.
