Hawking said he wanted to look for aliens. It doesn't say he believed in aliens. That's what science does, as opposed to merely accepting revealed wisdom like religion.

So if you look for something. . . you believe it at least MIGHT exist. I think Hawking went beyond saying a mere maybe anyway.

These arguments that scientists don't believe in alien existence are just devils advocacy.

^^ I'm sure many scientists believe that aliens might exist. That's perfectly logical. They don't, however, pre-suppose like religious people that god does exist. Completely different ways of arriving at conclusions which is why science and religion are not compatible.

I don't. I have a 1,394 page book I base my decision on. Some accounts in that book have been verified in historic records.

There is no evidence of aliens.

There is no evidence of aliens.

And some accounts have not been verified. and the book varies in length depending on what edition you have in what language.

A credibility determination of a witness account doesn't require every single thing stated to be corroborated. Corroboration of some, with contemporaneous records, can be sufficient.

Where is the alien witness account book? I'm sure that's credible. About as credible as pigs flying

DP here. Strawman, after strawman. It's been explained to you and you still ignore, which makes you a dishonest interocutor.

No scientist "believes aliens exist". Some believe math says they probably do and are LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE. They are not blindly worshipping those aliens on the weekends or reverently reading a book purported to be alien words. Because that would be HIGHLY ILLIOGICAL.

See the difference?

Your second strawman in this post is that "credibility determination of a witness account doesn't require every single thing stated to be corroborated". Spider-man comic books have lots of geographic and historical facts. So I guess we all need to believe in Spider-Man also.

And some accounts in that book (the Bible) discuss supernatural events and beings, as if they are real. Historians may verify some things (e.g., places, wars) but historians stay completely away from verifying anything supernatural, because such events are beyond nature and can't be verified by academic historical methods.

A Spiderman comic is fiction written for entertainment.

The Bible is non-fiction, and biographical about, among other people, Jesus. And there are Roman records of his existence.

Prove me wrong!

(Also, if you are referring to Jocephus, that has been shown to likely be a forgery.)

There are not Roman records of Jesus' existence and even if there were, it doesn't mean he was the Son of God.

This is true. If Jesus was as important as the Bible makes him out to be there would be Roman records of his existence but there are no Roman records of Jesus at all except for a Christian insert in Josephus. Either there never was a Jesus or, if there was, he was a very minor figure.

Very few have been verified as historical facts in historical records. In fact, none have, including the existence of Jesus. The early Christians, realizing that if Jesus were as important as the Bible says he was then he would have been mentioned by Roman historians, shoehorned a weird sounding passage into Josephus.

This is something that all biblical scholars know, but that you won't hear in church.

Answer: there is no soul. Consciousness ("soul") stops with brain activity.

I agree, but the question was whether there are any scientists who believe in life after death. I'd like to hear from them, and hear why they think that.

I just purchased theoretical physicist, Mucho Kaku's book called The God Equation. Looking forward to reading his thoughts.
