Good point. I was responding to the fact that many people (including scientists) claim there is no afterlife. All I'm saying is, prove it.
Incidentally, human credulity exists everywhere, including science.

Sorry, that has to utter nonsense. Can't be true. No proof. At least, none that a scientist could understand. Falls into the same category as all the other nonsense that has existed in one's imagination until science makes a new breakthrough "discovery." Then it magically moves from "nonsense" to "fact." You gotta' give those scientists time...they might catch up some day.
Prove it.I know. That's why I asked. I'm unburdened by scientific knowledge...I don't have any.
Prove it.
Ha, ha...I would have thought my previous posts would be proof-positive! (I'm still laughing...) :lol::lol::lol:
My definition of DNA was "Duh, Not Applicable."
Offensive is in the eyes of the beholder, counrtyboy. There should be no personal insults, we can all agree upon that. Other than that, who decides what is offensive?
Suppose I say that Harper is doing a terrible job of governing. Suppose you claim that you are offended by it? Does that mean that I should not say it?
If every time I say something I have worry about offending somebody, I wouldn’t say anything. If I attack Christianity, Christians will be offended, if I attack Islam, Muslims will be offended, if I attack Communism, Communists will be offended, if I attack Nazism, Nazis will be offended and so on.
If somebody has such a thin skin that they get offended by somebody criticizing their worldview, their philosophy, they don’t really belong in this forum.
Another good one, I will keep this one too if ya'll don't mind...:lol:
Some people in this world are so blinded by arrogance they actually think that everyone is stupid enough to not see underlying insults.
Too funny. I am sure you got a even more quotable quote for such arrogant stupidity towards such a person.
lmao Is that why you avoid my posts even when I am not calling you nasty, dirty, foul names like "silly"? roflmao
That is your Gospel truth, and you are entitled to it. Incidentally, at one time many people believed that earth was flat, so according to you,r logic presumably that was true (and I assume earth became round all of a sudden, after people started believing that it was round)
If your criteria for deciding that something is true is that many people believe in it, that is a very strange criteria indeed.
Really? Science cannot prove that there is no Santa Clause; does that mean that there is a Santa Claus? Nobody can prove that I haven’t been to Jupiter in the past 20 years. Does that mean that I have been to Jupiter?
You have inadequate understanding as to how science works. If somebody makes a positive statement, the burden of proof is upon them to prove it, not upon somebody who doubts the statement. Thus if somebody claims that there is an afterlife, it is up to him to prove it, not somebody who doubts its existence.

But you know countryboy, jlm, etc... if the shoe was on the other foot, and insults were reversed to their likes in life, it would of course be a different story, and probably accused of insulting... Funny how that works huh???
have a good day.
have a good day.
Interestingly, some people who have been to death’s door and back report that they were passing through a tunnel of light.
Three or four people telling me I am wrong cuts no ice with me, JLM. It will be a dark day indeed when I start believing in afterlife; just because three or four people tell me that I am wrong not to believe in it. And if for not believing in afterlife somebody considers me a nincompoop ands arrogant, hey what is it to me?
It's a great day Vernus . A great day indeed.
BTW 883 is for how many cubic centimetres the Jap made bottom of the line cheapest hog HD has.
Have you heard of televangelist Peter Popoff, Dexter? He had a popular show on television, where he used to read peoples’ minds, read their ailments, inflections etc, and cure them with faith healing.
Later his show was exposed as fraud, it was clearly demonstrated that somebody was feeding him the information; he wasn’t reading peoples’ minds at all.
His show shut down as a result. But guess what? After a while, he was back in business, he was once again reading peoples’ minds, healing people by faith. And enough suckers still believed in him to keep him in champagne and caviar.
The credulity of people knows no bounds (as is evident by how many people believe in the afterlife).
Why does anybody have to prove anything? I believe there is an afterlife and in reincarnation and Karma but I don't care if anybody else believes it or not. That is their business. I am just expressing my belief but I am not saying that people who don't believe are idiots. There are those who think people who think differently than them are idiots (or wrong) but that just seems like an insecurity issue to me.
My beliefs are based on my personal experiences in life. I know that nobody has had the same experiences, so why would I expect them to believe me? I know what I know, nothing more. I have no inclination to prove it to anybody.
