"Did Jesus exist?" Just the question makes you nervous, doesn't it?  

"Photographic evidence of a ghost doesn't mean a thing to you, of course"

First, one has to believe that 'ghosts' would have physical manifestation to provide evidence:

"... the soul of a dead person, a disembodied spirit imagined, usually as a vague, shadowy or evanescent form, as wandering among or haunting living persons."

What physical manifestations of spirits or souls has ever been recorded? None has ever been verified as such although there are images alleged to be that of ghosts that are not adequately explained otherwise. You contend that lack of scientific explanation is scientific explanation.

One either believes in science in the universe or juju shyte. Your inciination to conspiracy theory indicates a naive willingness to believe in imagined issues.

Atheism has nothing to do with that. Atheism is dogmatic denial of any God and I am not an atheist.

I believe in God but not organized churches which are largely commercial institutions. The cliche is 'power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely'? Money is power in our society and that power corrupts tempting commercial religion into great power of corruption.

Yes, I go to 'meeting houses' for fellowhip, but there is no 'preaching'. Being a 'Quaker' I believe that God reveals truth and being to everybody, but most are not cognizant.

Interesting that you limit God's power in creation to your understanding of creation. A dog is a dog and dogs were always dogs because of that. There was no ancestor of a dog that was not fully a dog. So, there is no extinction of any species because the species that exist were so always, therefore those that are not can never have been....

That's all well and good for you. Believe what you will, but limiting the belief of others is an unwarranted imposition. That is entirely consistent with your Trumpism. So, when is the violent Purge going to occur when you imprison or execute heretics?
