We read a puff piece in the Times today about “Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife” by Dr. Eben Alexander III, “Readers Join Doctor’s Journey to the Afterworld’s Gates.”

Alexander claims he (or his soul) visited heaven while in a coma.
For what it’s worth, in 2006 our heart stopped in the hospital during a cardiac catheterization. We were dead for two minutes. We saw no butterflies, no bright lights, no angels. We were blacked out until we came to. After that we were fine.
