Paula, you are a great thinker and writer.
You've hit the nail on the head, as usual. I recall that many of the creationists I've had discussions with over the years have explicitly claimed to absolutely "know" for sure 100% that they are going to heaven. And I remember telling them that their "knowledge" was not fact but was only their opinion. I also remember that they would often repeat the claim several times in the same discussion, and I repeated the same rebuttal every time until they eventually got the message and stopped saying it.
