Thanks for responding Colin. You ask for proof of that statement. Please read my 30 posts on the Case Against Physicalism. This atheistic belief system which dominates our culture cannot be sustained by the science its supporters say require it. But, unless you look carefully at it, you will likely simply accept what they say. The other “proof” is the insight and conviction of the vast majority of humans who have ever lived, including most of the smartest of them throughout the ages. This includes today where about 75% of the population believes in God or some version of a Higher Power, and 95% believe in the afterlife. You might respond and say, well, most are ignorant and uneducated. Then why is it that 90% of Nobel laureates also claim some form of belief in “something more.” To hear from them, you might want to read Cosmos, Bios, Theos. As for appealing to the Bible, the basket of “religious con men” must include the likes of C.S. Lewis, Francis Collins, highly regarded philosophers such as Alvin Plantinga, and many others. I will never convince you (and have no real interest in trying) that the Bible conveys truth, but if you are interested in how some very smart people (not me, like C.S. Lewis) can take the Bible seriously as the Word of God, I encourage you to read my post on that subject:
