   Errrrr...that is in no way proof of any kind be it 2000 years old or what   
   ever.  Not that I am necessarily saying it is wrong either of that, that   
   particular account is a fabrication, but THAT IS a possiblity.  White light   
   was all around them every time there was a good thunderstorm, and fire while   
   not necessarily white is a bright illumination in a dark and scary world.   
   So it is absolutly possible that they would have some of the very same   
   identifications with light that any of us do today in the modern world.   
   Dont forget the possiblity that it could just be a normal function of the   
   brain as it shuts down.
