I don't know how I gave you 'that impression'. *grin*...I have said dozens of times that all I do is object to seeming claims of people who say THEY know. I have my suspicions about some of those things..(the feeling that I'd risk a dollar bet on it)

All the stuff about **knowing** is really hard to pin down, as it is hard to get everyone to agree on a clear, hard, fast, unambiguous definition of precisely what it means to "know". My brand of scepticism simply holds a high standard for wild claims.

....but you begin with "I think it's very probable that people have souls that survive death."...wow...I did read that you say you don't KNOW this, and of course, that's one that is pretty hard to even define a test for...but how do you calculate that it is 'probable'? Even 'very' probable? In my view, all one can DO is 'believe' in something like that. There are no proofs, odds, calculations, or even descriptions of HOW it could possibly work. It seems like 99.9% wishful thinking, based on subjective attitudes.
