Deprive a brain of oxygen and it starts to imagine all sorts of wacked-out, crazy things. These patients (Ayers included) had experiences that were nearly identical to those of astronauts who passed out during high-G training. It doesn't pass muster for proof of an afterlife, just another example of the perceptual gymnastics that the brain is capable of.

I know I could google and google but you seem to have the knowledge. Please provide some sources that describe the astronauts' experiences.

And so many people's brains with all of their different life experiences come up with the same things while in basically the same state??? Your theory if correct should have people,s experiences as varied as their dreams.
