>>If you take Ecclesiastes as the last word on eternal life, then you must deny the Resurrection.<<

No, but believers have not yet been raised. Show one instance of the apostles praying to those departed from this earth. Paul said to "boldly go before the throne" of the Father not some dead saint.

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Show me the first time it is recorded that any Father of the Church complained about the practice of asking saints for their intercession.

If no Father of the Church complained about it, it must not have been an innovation.
