The grave awaits us all. Some of us are positively convinced that that is not the end.

The desire for such a comforting possibility is a strong incentive to believe that it is true, regardless of the poor evidence for it.

Did you read line 8 in my post (#264), where I mentioned the evolutionists 'know-it-all' position? You're enhancing my opinion of such.

Many have experienced the supernatural, infilling of the Holy Ghost. You have obviously never had that experience, and therefore 'expertly' declare that this life is it, no God, no life after death. No wonder you feel there is poor evidence, since by your own admission, you don't have eternal life dwelling in you.

Happy New Year!

Then you have 'evidence' of poor evidence?

Ummm, yeah. Some others are so given to intellectual pride that they want to have no "Supreme Being" who renders their mighty brain irrelevant.

Or there are the pessimists who believe in religion 'cause they secretly desire hell; etc. etc. etc.

See how easy it is to play ad hominem games?

Cheers!
