But that is my whole point. You believe in something of which you have zero evidence.

Are you willing to bring back to life those who physically suffer from incurable disease? Bring back to life those who have been aborted? Bring back to life those who have murdered? Bring back to life those who are religious?
I would assume anyone long since dead has sustained such neurological damage they would be a vegtable anyhow, this is a pointless question as this is in the future and was only brought up as a example, note the sci-fi disclaimer.

:laugh: The burden of proof does not lie upon the sceptic to disprove the unfalsifiable claims of religion.
"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time."
