The person is pronounced clinically or medically dead, but really are not yet. So the mind can be experiencing whatever it is experiencing in such a state. I don't say that for certain but it seems reasonable, especially in light of the fact that many, if not most, of these NDE's don't line up with God's Word. And non-Christians often have them that seem to verify their own belief system.<BR/><BR/>I think we may have two problems here: (1) some of the medical/scientific community outright reject the Biblical notions of spirit, death, etc., so believe death can be measured in physical, "visible", "testable" results, and (2) they cannot see/measure the spirit anyway. James says the body without the spirit is dead, but who in the physical realm can pronounce the departure of the spirit -- the absence of breath and heartbeat, yes; the absence of brain activity, maybe; the absence of the spirit, no.R.
