No as the link is just to a site where the author is a mental case and does not explain anything, just a repetition of the same phrases over and over again. Pathetic in reality. Also NDE's have also been shown to be fraudulent in what people claim to see. The power of suggestion to state that they saw something while near death is persuasively strong enough upon the individual when in a weakened state, for them to state anything the asker wants them to. Therefore it is not valid nor is it credible.

I suggest you investigate Near Death Experiences (NDEs).
There is peer-reviewed scientific research on NDEs from the Lancet (one of the world's oldest and best known peer-reviewed medical journals), the Journal of the American Medical Association, and other studies that provides evidence for the existence of a transcendent soul and an afterlife.
During NDEs:
+ Patients report seeing data that should not have been accessible to them in their brain-dead states, and which is subsequently verifiable. (1)
+ 80% of patients blind since birth can see during their near-death experience (later they clearly describe verifiable things that they have never seen. (2)
+ Patients encounter with transcendent beings (loving white light, Jesus, deceased relatives, etc.). (1) (3) (4) (5)
After NDEs, there is a measurable absence of death anxiety in both children and adults. (6) (7) (8)

"Proof" LOL!
The only thing that link proves is that the writer cannot think of an argument. Sad really, when a person bases their whole life on a concept that they can't even explain properly.
