Concept Of Eternal Hell Against God's Attribute Of Mercy
Yes it’s purely speculative. What you’re referring to as evidence is only a logical inference. Making inferences when more reliable information is readily available is not only needless but essentially ignorant. If you see a person drive a big car and live in a huge mansion, it’s okay to infer that he must be a rich man. But if that person tells you that he’s just a poor driver who works in that mansion, and you have no reason to doubt him, then it’s ignorant to insist that he must be a rich man based upon your prior logical inference. Rather than making inferences we should be asking God what he means by the attributes He mentioned in the Quran. In addition to His attributes of love and mercy, one of His attributes is شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ (severe in punishment; Quran 2:196 ). Once again I advise you to read the book of God rather than speculating and believing in other people’s baseless philosophical ideas.
