But it is a whole thing different to say that the dead stay dead and to say that you know it has never happened.
To do that is to have faith that you know all about how things work.
It may be a fact that there are only 118 stable elements but that is much different than saying that you know that is all there is and that there has been no other stable elements.
It takes faith to believe that you have it all figured out...that is my point
I feel that the only honest ones in this debate are the agnostics and the Buddhist..(and others) who believe what they believe but also know that they could be wrong or that they don't know it all.
