OK Amos, perhaps I was relying on old or unreliable information, but even so, none of the above disallows the existance of a spiritual reality beyond the mere physical, and I think there is ample circumstantial evidence to at least give it a begrudging 'well, maybe I s'pose...'

As I said earlier, and I believe I have always maintained, I don't have issue with anything that has been presented here, except the refusal to allow for that possibility.
