What is Hick's Replica Theory?
Stage one: John Smith in America disappears and reappears in India. He is identified through his identity, his memories, his personality
Stage two: instead of disappearing, John Smith dies. At that exact moment a
replica
appears in India
Stage three: his replica is
created
on another world; the
resurrection
world. He is identified in the same way.
