**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.

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.

Many have experienced the supernatural, infilling of the Holy Ghost. You have obviously never had that experience,

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.

I'm jumping to conclusions?

My observations are from your own testamonies, which are summed up here: God did not create what exists.

You allude to a 'God experience'. Yet your own testamonies give him no credit. He either created it all, as he said, or it's all a lie. Or do you straddle the fence when it is convenient?

Calling me a 'know it all' too?
Well, from one 'know it all' to another, goodnight. I must rest; for an early departure, my steed awaits.
