Your Heart - Your Brain - Your Life - Don't Waste 'em . . .

Hmmm... Can we start with definitions of "meek", "inherit" and "earth"?
 And agree on a time frame?  How long must we wait before deciding that
it is not confirmed?  Can this be done using a sampling technique? 
e.g. one or two meek people,, the theory disconfirmed if they die
before inheriting the earth or some specified portion of the earth? 
e.g. something on the order of 1/8,000,000 of it?  Or 2/8,000,000 (=
1/4,000,000)?

Hmmm... If (e.g.) 1000 generations of meek people inherit their share,
will there be any left for the next few generations of meek people?

Maybe better to start with an easy one.  Define "die", define" eternal
life", and---Hmmm...who exactly will verify the result?

Well, how about defining "pure", "in heart", "see", and (of course)
"God".  Good start (I'm assuming)) (too much?). Next: how to observe
outcome?

The devil is in the details!

On the other hand, Ken may be making some quite different claims, not
stated in the official canon.  For example?  Jesus said memories were
NOT stored in the hippocampus" (or even in the hippocampi if too big
for one hippocampus??)

Or, maybe He said "AoK is A-OK!"  Is that the claim?
