   You are basing your assumptions on the experiences, real or otherwise, of   
   those who "nearly died." Your conclusions, however, fall apart because your   
   study has no data from the other control group, i.e., those who actually   
   died. It isn't at all surprising that individuals who weren't prepared to   
   die felt a force of love had something to do with an experience which   
   culminated in their being given a second chance at life. The question is,   
   what do those who weren't ready to die, yet did, have to report?
