You don't have any physical evidence of Mary's body still being on earth.

Simple logic!


Your error is a classical logic fallacy "An Appeal To Ignorance".

Appeal to Ignorance (argumentum ad ignoratiam)

An appeal to ignorance proposes that we accept the truth of a proposition unless an opponent can prove otherwise. Thus, for example:

No one has conclusively proven that there is no intelligent life on the moons of Jupiter.

Therefore, there is intelligent life on the moons of Jupiter.



Your argument (Appeal To Ignorance):

1. Nobody has found Mary's body.
2. Therefore her body must be in heaven.

Is logically identical to:

1. Nobody has found Jimmy Hoffa's body.
2. Therefore his body must be in heaven.

I repeat, your argument demonstrates a complete lack of the knowledge of logic. Her body could be in heaven but it is not proven by your argument.

My original discussion with you was to show you through typology and the Early Church Fathers that The Blessed Mother is both Scripturally and historically the New Eve, Ark of the new Covenant that easily leads to the understanding that Mary was assumed into heaven.

Your love or your own intellect ignores all of it as appeal to ignorance. so you can please your own prideful mind

Now you bring the discussion to the gutter with the Hoffa Jupiter nonsense so you can please your own prideful mind.

Do you believe that Jesus physically multiplied the loaves and the fish to feed the thousands? Or do you think that is ignorant to believe as well?

There’s intelligent life of Jupiter? When are they going to find some on Earth?
