I could dig up his corpse, but I'd be arrested. Are you suggesting that the burden of proof is upon me to show that Darwin faked his death and that he's somehow still alive after over a century?

Actually I want you to support this claim you made "No one will be "meeting up" with him." Meaning you are certain there is no "afterlife". Please bring forth your evidence so we can put this age-old debate to rest.

Thus far, no one has presented evidence that the human consciousness survives brain death. The burden of proof is upon someone asserting as much to demonstrate that this is true. Until then, it's not unreasonable to assume that human consciousnes ends when the object that produces it -- the human brain -- no longer functions.

I should be careful with this question because I don't know the answer. Can you cite chapter and verse that says we will meet specific, recognizable public figures in the afterlife and converse with them?
