Actually, the most fun theory I've heard of NDEs in a while is that it's the brain suddenly remembering the birth canal. Long tunnel, white light at the end, a strange sensation that your mother is there...
​
LOL. This sounds very much like the NDE experiance I had.
​
A warm, comfortable place.
A sensation of being pulled and called (by my mother).
And the feeling of not wanting to go.
​
Though at the time I associated the warm, comfortable place with bed and I really didn't want to get out of bed.
​
Creationists, does this prove the theory and adequately explain NDE's?

Why? To determine their color, all I have to do is look at them. As a non-color blind person their color is immediately apparent. But to know how many there are I have to count them.
​
Speaking out of turn and with incomplete knowledge I expect this is more a result of how your brain and eyes work. You automatically 'see' the colour (assuming you're not colour blind) while you have to be taught the concept of numbers.
​
However, I think what Rrhain is trying to get at (correct me if I am wrong) is that different frequencies of light (colour) exist regardless of weather we are aware of it or not, in the same way that you have 5 fingers on each hand (assuming you are normal in this regard) regardless of weather you are aware of number systems or not.
​
I tend to agree with him.
