Anybody else read this? It honestly makes an astonishingly good argument based in Facts and Logic©. I was just wondering if anyone had a refutation because I can't find anything online and It might very well convert me from being a materialist.

Here's the full book:

I know many will be too lazy to actually read at least part of the book before responding so I'll copy paste the summary of his opening argument from the book. obviously it goes without saying the book itself massively expands on these arguments and deals with common refutations of them.

(NDE means Near Death Experience)
>1.The overwhelming majority of people who have an NDE become personally convinced of the reality of survival and an afterlife based on their experience, and the prevalence of this aftereffect is strongly correlated with the depth of the NDE.
>2.An NDEr will more often than not say that the reality they encountered while they were going through this experience was a lot more real than this reality we participate in as humans on a daily basis, and the prevalence of this attribute is strongly correlated with the depth of the NDE.
>3.More than forty years of scholarly research has shown that no physiological, psychological, nor sociological predictor has yet been identified as either necessary or sufficient to cause or prohibit an NDE or its depth when someone has a survived proximity to death. Therefore, NDEs are equal opportunity experiences and NDErs as a sample are representative of the population as a whole. The percentage of subtle, deep, and profound NDErs who were uncertain about or skeptical of the existence of an afterlife prior to their NDE is therefore roughly the same as the percentage of people who are uncertain about or skeptical of the existence of an afterlife in the population as a whole. Similarly, the percentage of subtle, deep, and profound NDErs who are generally trustworthy, skeptical, rational, and sane is roughly the same as the percentage of people who are generally trustworthy, skeptical, rational, and sane in the population as a whole.
>4.Millions of people, probably even tens of millions of people, have had NDEs
