Nope, there's a number of scientists who've stepped away from the materialist side of things and conducted research in different areas, much to the bemusement of the dogmatic system of which they are members of. They're sniggered at but still believe that there are huge amounts of human experience that can't be explained away through the internal mechanics of the mind.
Your theory on the mushrooms and brain synapses leaves me somewhat cold and doesn't explain how our ancestors buried their kin with tools and quite often in a fetal position. And I'm talking thousands of years ago here. That would lead me to believe that even in our primative form, we still acknowledged rebirth or a journey when death comes. That's very interesting to me.
And with near death experiences, patients were able to give detailed accounts of what was going on in the operating theatre while they we heavily sedated and close to death. They could see it all occuring. Mental. I believe that there's others forces at work beyond the merely physical and I applaud any scientists who try to study these areas.
