The only NDE test worth consideration IMO

Did the experiencer bring back any knowledge from the alleged heavenly realm that would be unobtainable by ordinary means?
As the answer appears to be "No", the 'after-life' is most likely an internally generated landscape.

how does that idea make any more sense? the fact that anything exists at all is absurd imo, so the answer as to why things exist is going to be absurd/counter-intuitive.

Age has taught me to accept the things I can't change. That is a big step toward contentment. I also find contentment in bitching about those things I can't change. And the older I get, the more bitching people will put up with from me, so it's win-win. 
Oh, and lots of drugs help too.

Well said. Nothing has ever provided enough evidence for anyone to make the assumption that a monkey is even equipped with the necessary resources or the capacity to understand the universe, it is just not feasible.

I love it.
OC, often times in NDE's and OBE'S people are able to accurately describe what was happening in the room when they have no measurable brain or heart functions. What is your explanation for that?

Stories/anecdotes are not evidence no matter how many there are. Not one person claiming an OBE has been able to accurately describe an object hidden from view under controlled circumstance.
The End.

I think that needs emphasis, because it's not very common to have scientists with lab conditions around while one dies and comes back.

That's what makes me question the validity of the phenomena, and consider it only as a dream until some evidence surfaces to the contrary.

Nah, I have chi remember, closed minded skeptics don't know about that.

How do you know? Most of your reasoning isn't explicitly stated.
Why not take the effort you're putting into clever one-liners and put it into developing a coherent argument?

You can learn a lot about life from internally generated landscapes, if they don't drive you crazy (which they often seem to as evidenced by these boards).
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Every single place I have visited I have brought back some piece of knowledge that I did not have before, haven't you?
Yet God allegedly 'talked' to many of these people, gave them great insight and wisdom and showed them the Secrets of the Universe and they don't even have a t-shirt to show for it.

Ah, this is good.
Yes - for every place I have visited with enough awareness to bring back memory of the experience, I've brought back some information I didn't seem to have before. I wouldn't say knowledge; I've probably visited places and returned from them retaining nothing but false beliefs. But in general, visiting new locations with my body yields information that I didn't have before.
For the sake of argument, let's suppose for now that nobody has ever brought back new information from an OBE or NDE that they couldn't have obtained already through consensual reality.
How do you get from these two premises to the claim that there is no reasonable explanation but that OBE and NDE experiences are nothing more than internally generated realms?
