Bullshit and Heaven

There is an article in Newsweek. I will provide a link.

Scientists and Heaven

Now, I will not discuss why I believe in heaven, it does not matter. What intrigues me is why "scientists" or anyone feels a need to prove that it does not exist. It is the better question.

Scientists will say that nobody can prove there is a God or a heaven. I am willing to debate them; however, I am much more interested in their need to disprove it while claiming it cannot be proven. Do you see?

I have no problem with someone saying that God cannot be proven. Okay, I understand. I have a big problem with people trying to prove the opposite. If you have not died or experienced heaven, how can you disprove something non-material? It violates the premise of science. More importantly, why would you bother?

We live, we die, what is wrong with an afterlife if it occurs? What is terrible about the possibility, believed by many religions, that we continue to experience? Why must it be disproven, what does that achieve?

I think I ask a valid question. What is the consequence to us if we believe this is all there is? The result is that we only seek the cookies of this world and don't worry about the impact we have on others. That is the result. Why would anyone want such a result, the answer is simple. To train you to chase cookies and zone out.

It is about control. If you allow yourself the joy of justification, you are a fool.
