Matthew 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

You, Soliton, have chosen to deny the witness of those to whom Jesus revealed this then verified by doing it. Jesus was crucified and died on a wooden Roman cross. He died. He was wrapped and placed in a rock guarded tomb. But He arose three 'night and mornings' later and is alive forever more. You have chosen to deny this which is sworn to you via the Bible. The hardness of your heart and the willful blindness condemns you in your arrogant denial. You could change your 'fate' by exercising faith in His word, His promise, His witnesses. You have actually chosen not to, perhaps to maintain your egocentric position/perspective, it is hard to say.

How would exercising the smallest smidgen of faith in His Word harm your vaunted self-appointed position of superiority? How would believing His Promise harm any work in which you may be engaged?

The evidence of The Creator is all around you. You literally are alive by the providence of God. How would acknowledging His existence, admitting you don't know how it all works, and continuing to pursue science harm you? Who is so important to you that you believe would laugh at you so you go out of your way to spit in God's face and trample His mercy under foot?

so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

He was dead one day and two nights

Luke 16: 27-31

27”He [the rich man in hell] answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father’s house, 28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

29”Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’

30” ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

31”He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ “

Rising from the dead would be pretty good evidence but for someone who doesn’t want to believe, nothing would be.
