Why does it obviously give evidence for extinction? Perhaps the near-death situation was simply not conducive to seeing the afterlife. Perhaps the person saw it, but the beings of light determined that remembering it after recovery would have negative impact on the person. Perhaps some people remember it but lie about it. Perhaps some people (skeptics?) mistake it for an hallucination and don't think it has anything to do with the afterlife.
You have no sort of coherent model of the afterlife, yet you speak in absolutes as if you know how it works. You call things evidence that are merely suggestive of one mythology or another.

Since the skeptics on here are not producing any remotely plausible arguments, and indeed I myself can produce vastly better skeptical arguments, I really don't think there's any purpose in me reading any further.

You don't think it's even plausible that NDEs could be hallucinations?
