Is There a Scientific Basis for an Afterlife?

[Purple Rabbit]

How dull. Of course I use rationality to assess Christianity. How could I not? Just because you fail to understand something does not mean that it can't be so. I grant you the right to hold your particular bastardisation of reality. Why not honour me with the same respect?

Suit yourself. I am not prohibiting anyone to have private beliefs. You can excercise your freaky beliefs and even torment humanity with it on this site. I will even respond to it with argument. If you are using rationality to asses christianity then how do you reconcile biblical account with the fossil record, an all-good all-powerfull god with kid cancer, the fact that Nazareth did not exist in Jesus' time, the evidence that moral naturally arises in primate groups with the account of divinely provided absolute moral, the fact that our universe is 13.7 billion year old and that it took several billion years to form earth with the biblical account in which it took seven days. Don't kid yourself that belief has any bearing on understanding. I respect you as a person, as my replies to you on AF account for, but I do not feel any need or obligation to show respect for opinions I do not adhere to. IMO the concepts of christianity and faith amount to intellectual dishonesty and moral perversion. Why should I show respect for that?
