I would say the most relevant things we both 'know' is that the universe is 'fine tuned' and consciousness has only been observed associated with physical brains. Which of those is the clincher?
Because the universe began to exist
We were discussing the scientific method which is a cause and effect methodology. The scientific method does not tell us that everything has a cause.
How can something that we're mentally conceptualizing or perceiving not be mental?
Is it relevant that external reality has only ever been known or defined according to mental concepts and perceptions?
If reality is fundamentally mental then this implies that consciousness is fundamental too.
There are others but I must admit that janesix and yourself seem more reasonable than some theists (and also some atheists) and I enjoy our conversations as a result.Btw, are there any other theists that you guys argue with on here? I think the only one I've seen is Janesix.
Can you demonstrate that this response was causally determined and not the result of my free will? If it was by free will, you can still assert plausibly a deterministic cause but i'm asking if you can demonstrate it was.And I thinknyou know that I do not accept anybtheory which requires freewill until freewill can somehow be demonstrated
