Do you think a dying oxygen deprived brain gives you reliable information? You really should exercise more skepticism when it comes to claims such as near-death experiences.
God in all his mercies provides a exit door, in order for an Athiest to get out of the Athiest prison bubble of the mind, that they have imprisoned themselves in. The case of the professor is not difficult to understand, interpret and to empathise with.
Firstly, one must not dismiss the testimony of a witness of fact, because of the hearsay assertions from
none witnesses of fact.
Secondly, it isn't a case of needing to exercise more skepticism, but rather to discern a noticeable life change in the witness of fact, after their experience and the direction that they lead thereafter.
Lastly, Christianity has been scrutinised more so than any other claims out there. The insurmountable witnesses of fact who are a growing in numbers world over, form the foundational bed of evidence, that dismisses any heresay claim made by
none witnesses of fact.
Therefore any statement that defies logic and exemplifies an argument from a position of ignorance has to be ridiculed at the very least. Especially a statement that asserts a claim without a witness of fact......like the one below.....
"Do you think a dying oxygen deprived brain gives you reliable information? "
Although the above statement may at first glance provide a possibility, that it may occur, however its effects would only last whilst the person is incapacited and it in no way discredits or is meant to be used to discount a claim made by the witness of fact, a claim that is made even after the incapacitation and one that has the backing of a completely different belief system, leading to a completely different lifestyle.
Such hearsay claims are not to be taken into evidence, therefore are dismissed after scrutiny and therefore are not admissible.
Generally a person who is incapacitated will exhibit a change only for the duration of the incapacitation. A person incapacitated by alcohol and drugs may only exhibit the same behaviours if they continue to take alcohol and drugs.
So the claim that the once Athiest professor who became a Christian was not in the right sate of mind because he was incapacitated, when his brain was deprived of oxygen is a statement that has attracted much skepticism and one that is totally inadmissible in a court of law.
Logic has to be followed whenever an Athiest makes a blanket statement.
A blanket statement is a vague and noncommittal statement asserting a premise without providing evidence.
