Explain why weirob rejects millers suggestion

Reference no: EM13520561

Explain why Weirob rejects Miller's suggestion that it is conceivable that Weirob will survive her bodily death because it is easy to conceive that there should be someone "exactly similar" to Weirob in the "Hereafter." Also explain what Miller means when he concedes that his principle, "if same body, then same soul and if same soul, then same body," is a "generalization we know by observation on earth" rather than something he knows "a priori" and explain why he must concede this in order to defend his position that survival of bodily death is conceivable. Why does Weirob think that neither Miller, nor anyone else, is in a position to know on the basis of experience that the principle in question is true?
