How can the atheist account for this kind of astonishing mental power? Only by concluding that matter is a form of mind, but then this would suggest that a part of the mind or personality could "survive" beyond physical death.
Eminent researchers who recognized the truth about mind were many, often they conducted their own experiments and were critical of Darwinian theory:

Evidence that supports survival comes from many and varying classes of phenomena; here you can find the top 40 cases of spirit contact and reincarnation:

Anomalous phenomena supporting the survival theory includes: out-of-body experiences such as researched by Jerry Gross, (1) deathbed visions, (2) quantum physics, (3) dream research, (4) after-death communications research, (5) reincarnation research, (6) hypnosis, (7) synchronicity, (8 ) remote viewing, and (9) consciousness research.
Because NDEs have many common core elements, this suggests that they are spiritual voyages outside of the body. Also, if the dying brain creates NDE illusions, what is the purpose for doing it? If our brains are only a high-tech computer-like lump of tissue which produces our mind and personality, why does it bother to create illusions at the time of death? If everything, including the mind and personality, are about to disintegrate, why would the brain produce a last wonderful Grand Finale vision? Even if NDE elements can be reduced to only a series of brain reactions, this does not negate the idea that NDEs are more than a brain thing.
Many skeptical arguments against the survival theory are actually arguments from pseudo-skeptics who often think they have no burden of proof. Such arguments often based on scientism with assumptions that survival is impossible even though survival has not been ruled out. Faulty conclusions are often made such as, "Because NDEs have a brain chemical connection then survival is impossible." Pseudo-skeptical arguments are sometimes made that do not consider the entire body of circumstantial evidence supporting the possibility of survival or do not consider the possibility of new paradigms. Such pseudo-skeptical claims are often made without any scientific evidence.
