Near death, explained

29. Some things are ubiquitous...

...because the same misunderstandings, mental processes, emotional biases, etc., are ubiquitous. I can't comment on specifics if you don't name specific things you think add up to positive evidence for a "soul". I've heard plenty of supposed evidence before, and I am unimpressed.

Some alleged evidence, like some of these supposedly remarkable accounts of NDEs, don't hold up under closer inspection.

These kinds of things don't gain weight by piling up more of the same. When you're selling an item at a loss you can't make up for the loss by selling in volume. The plural of "anecdote" is not "data".

...then Occam's razor should suggest that the existence of the soul is possibly the single simplest explanation for such things as NDEs...

Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem: entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity.

That's a better understanding of Occam's Razor that the common "simplest explanation is usually the best". We might not know anywhere near all there is to know about the human mind, but there's nothing that we do know -- that holds up to scrunity -- that demands any "entity" beyond the physical brain to be explained. The "soul" in an extra "entity" which the available evidence does not require.

Besides, there are a whole lot more complications which follow by positing the existence of a "soul" which make that idea far from simple.
