(February 27, 2013 at 8:44 am)Muslim Scholar Wrote: P(V) is the probability of dying now
My expression reduces to P(G)/0 as your life will ultimately worth ZERO

It means that your hereafter (regardless of the probability of it) worth everything

Oh, so now its probability of dying now, is it? Way to go, goalposts.

If that's the case, your expression is even more meaningless - which is a feat in itself given that it signified nothing to start with. You cannot compare the ultimate value of life with the probability of dying now, because they both refer to separate temporal contexts. Either both have to compare for now or both for the ultimate future.

Secondly, what is the expression supposed to signify? How does it indicate the 'hereafter'? You are making less sense than an orangutan high on absinthe.
