Here lies the problem. Your mind is so closed to the possibility of anything other than what you can see, touch or smell. To you everything is black and white.
The fact that you've called my question stupid highlights this.
That is absolutely fine and in most cases the most rational way to be but not always.
Basically you're right, they're wrong. Isn't that their stance too?
This in itself is a belief and you are now trying to force it on the people reading this thread where as posts by myself, Ken and the others are saying what if......how about.....and just think.
There is far more to this than what you are being told.
I'm not saying you're wrong I'm saying "look at it from this angle" and see the bigger picture.
