Prof: I am a theoretical physicist.
Victor: What do you mean by that?
Prof: I study theoretical physics
That told him. ;)
His argument seems to hinge on the fact that Hawking is a physicist and therefore an afterlife, which cannot possibly exist using conventional physics, is outside his scope of expertise.
Whereas a ex-lawyer with a chip on his shoulder is more qualified to say that an afterlife definitely does exist??
id imagine if the afterlife exists and can interact with this world it has to be somewhere within the laws of physics (even if we have yet to discover how), so that argument is wrong.
Normal person: Are you alive?
Silly lawyer: That's a silly question
Normal person: Answer the question, YES OR NO
Silly lawyer: Yes
Normal person: Have you ever died?
Silly Lawyer: What?
Normal person: ANSWER THE QUESTION, YES OR NO?
Silly Lawyer: No
Normal Person: So you are no authority on the afterlife then are you?
Silly Lawyer: I, erm…
Normal Person: ANSWER THE QUESTION!!! YES OR NO
Silly Lawyer: No
Normal person: Do you ever get guilty men off?
Silly Lawyer: Yes
Normal Person: I rest my case
Zammit's drivellings are some of the most embarrassing of all proponents of the afterlife. Utter gibberish.
