It's hard to explain, I don't believe in God, I don't believe in Heaven in the traditional sense, and I know the scientific explanations of lack of oxygen and so on

So, why is this "place" automatically Heaven?
Was he shown conclusively that it was a Christian God running the show?

I get chills from reading the article; he is absolutely right consciousness does exist outside the body. When I meditate, I leave my physical senses behind and reach a state of consciousness where I am no longer limited to my body. The environment around me IS me, and there is a feeling of all knowing.

He's a neurosurgeon, which means he studies extensively the mind and its affects and coma's and so forth.
Id say he's studied it so much it was the first thing his brain thought of when it went into default!
Heaven?... its a mental thing. His mind just went to its own interpretation of heaven!
Guess you failed to actually read the full linked content..
Because he was being constantly monitored during the coma and there was zero brain activity.. His cortex was completely shut down..
His mind was doing absolutely nothing..

Why would this guy need money from a book since he is a surgeon
It is not always about money. Also, you don't know what his spending habits are like. I have met broke, rich people.
He was brain dead how could he dream?
All they said is that his cortex was shut down, no further information. It doesn't mean the rest of the brain wasn't working.
He believes in science and reasoning yet he is making these claims?
Who knows.
How many of you still celebrate Christmas since you don't believe in religious stuff and labeling ppl religious nuts?
I celebrate it as a national holiday.

He is a neurosurgeon I am pretty sure he knows what the facts are behind this then any of us.
I really don't care who or what ppl believe that's their prerogative but the labeling of everyone who believes in a higher being a religious nut while celebrating Christmas just confuses me ...makes no sense
