Perhaps, but Christianity is predicated on the literal truth of the resurrection. The result is one can't really call oneself Christian without accepting it.

I agree that the evidence from NDE (Near Death Experience) studies collected over the past three decades forms an impressive body of work, but few in the scientific world are as yet convinced. A recent book on the subject I'm reading is Where God Lives by Melvin Morse, M.D. about the amazing properties of the right temporal lobe of the brain and its relation to the experience of God. See amazon.com for details. The more we delve into the subject the more we realize how little we truly know about brain function. But it's becoming increasingly clear that there are real quantum processes going on in the brain and if there is to be a scientific understanding of the mind/body problem it will be found here.
