God, Probability and Life after Death reveals its objective in its
title, namely, to present an exploratory argument concerning the
probability of human resurrection. The exploratory argument follows
a probabilistic passage along an evidential trail to the discovery
of the probability of life after death. It is a trail that the
reader can personally engage with in order to reach their own
conclusion and even introduce additional evidence they think
relevant. The argument begins with the probability of the existence
of God, and once a position is established on this issue, the
argument becomes empowered for the next stage, which is to address
the evidence for human resurrection, namely, the Resurrection of
Jesus, near-death experiences and apparitions. The probabilistic
relationship between the evidence and the resurrection hypothesis
is critically examined throughout the book by engaging the
potential views of an atheist and agnostic in addition to that of a
theist. On this probabilistic journey, other issues relevant to the
resurrection argument are introduced, such as personal identity and
the possibility of resurrection given the nature of our world.
Evidence and argument for a non-supernatural possibility for human
resurrection are also considered. Significantly, the author does
not assume the normal spiritual approach to human resurrection,
when a disembodied soul leaves the body to continue a spiritual
existence in a ghostly realm. Instead, a materialistic approach is
taken, whereby the resurrected person survives in bodily form in a
physical realm. The use of probability theory is intended to keep
the evidential argument within the bounds of coherent reasoning. It
also enables the argument to link one piece of evidence to the next
in a probabilistic sequence that eventually leads to the conclusion
that human resurrection is not only possible, it is also very
likely.
