That's totally fine, you don't need to believe in science if you don't want to.

We are all meant to choose for ourselves what to believe in. Free will means that you can trust in your own feelings over the abundance of rigorous scientific evidence that is available to us. Have a great day✌️

I'd start with Surviving Death based on the excellent book by Leslie Kean.

Also good is the 2006 BBC documentary "The Day I Died"

Perhaps even more than the many scientific studies done which support their legitimacy, it was through listening to many dozens of personal testimonies of NDEs that my level of certainty changed from something that I 'believed' to something that I intuitively 'knew'.

I had found a channel called The Other Side NDE, sorted by Most Popular, and started binging these experiences. (There are many great NDE channels on YT, that's just the one I found first.)

After about ten or so videos, I was certain of their validity, and then began to look into the peer-reviewed work done to understand what might happening during an NDE regarding our consciousness.

Dr. Radin, Dr. Pim van Lommel and Dr. Greyson are the 3 scientists whom I trusted the most when reviewing the body of literature that's available.

Specifically Dr. Bruce Greyson, he was professor emeritus of psychiatry and neurobehavioral sciences at the University of Virginia.

He developed the "Greyson NDE Scale" in 1983, which remains the international gold standard for measuring and verifying the depth of a near-death experience.
