   Great, you define a set of standards in which you know will not be   
   meet.  They call that denial.   
      
   - I will not believe in a round earth until I'm far enough away from   
   the Earth the see if it is round or flat with my own eyes.   
   - I will not believe in electricity unlit I see an electron with my   
   own eyes.   
   - I will not believe in truth unless I can touch it.   
   - I will not believe in love unless I can hold it in my hand.   
   - Atoms, and all sub-atomic quantum "science", are a myth because I   
   can not perceive them.   
      
    It appears that you have some positionality in which you do not   
   desire to believe.  Your loss!   
      
    It's no wonder why you did not have a NDE, you would have rejected   
   it, denied it, or ignored it because it did not fit your belief   
   system.  That's very biased, unscientific, and based upon subjective   
   opinion or ego.
