An Inquiry into Immortality
Charles Skopic
December 9, 2007

The idea of eternal life after death has a long history in religion and is a central tenet of many religions. The concept is very appealing and long enduring, but how does it stand up under close examination?

He is a member of the Board of Directors of the local United Way and the Watershed Alliance, and a member of the County’s Green Space Advisory Committee. He occasionally writes an article for the Gettysburg Times and sometimes hosts a ½ hour program on Adams Community TV.
