**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!

" No wonder you feel there is poor evidence, since by your own admission, you don't have eternal life dwelling in you."

And there is as much chance of Ichy understanding that as there was of the Pharisees understanding the Lord's parables.

How so? *You're* the one who declared himself "positively convinced" of something. *I'm* the one pointing out the value of healthy skepticism instead of being "positively convinced" of something that there are strong emotional incentives to believe regardless of the possibility of it being true or not.

Actually, I have. OOPS! There you go, being a "know-it-all" again, and getting it wrong.

and therefore 'expertly' declare that this life is it, no God, no life after death.

Where did I "declare" that? Oh, right, I didn't. Perhaps you should be careful about your "know-it-all" presumptions.

No wonder you feel there is poor evidence, since by your own admission, you don't have eternal life dwelling in you.

Where do you hallucinate that I "admitted" that, Mr. Know-It-All?

Happy New Year!

And Happy New Year to you. Perhaps you might want to add a resolution about not jumping to conclusions to your list.
