If Nature denies eternity to beings, it follows that their destruction is one of her laws. Now, once we observe that destruction is so useful to her that she absolutely cannot dispense with it from this moment onward the idea of annihilation which we attach to death ceases to be real what we call the end of the living animal is no longer a true finish, but a simple transformation, a transmutation of matter. According to these irrefutable principles, death is hence no more than a change of form, an imperceptible passage from one existence into another.

I can't keep from fooling around with our irrefutable certainties. It is, for example, a pleasure knowingly to mix up two and three dimensionalities, flat and spatial, and to make fun of gravity.

1 Timothy 3:1:
Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.
(NIV)
THE SAYING is true and irrefutable: If any man [eagerly] seeks the office of bishop (superintendent, overseer), he desires an excellent task (work).
(AMP)
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
(KJV)

What then in the last resort are the truths of mankind? They are the irrefutable errors of mankind.
