They put a lock on the thread so nobody could post anything else.

Existence is God.

What a profound and deep insight this is. Existence is God.
One merely replaces the definition of existence with some other term, and there one has a new philosophy established!

This is just a deep and very profound well, you are digging into. Now one can establish any other philosophy one wants, providing in last instance one claims : "Existence is X" (substitute any X for this).

With that method any foolish theory can be claimed to be true of course.

Guys:

The god thread is kaput. This thread is for discussing eternal inflation, not for continuing the other thread. Gaspar, if you have questions for LG about his thread, please send him a Private Message.

LG logic

"I can promise the readers that not one single argument can be formulated, using logic, to show that an external reality exists."

Using logic, the above statement is really true, but which then does not lead to the conclusion that no such reality exist, but that the instrument of logic in itself is not sufficient to proof this.

Sometimes one needs to actually dig into reality itself, to conclude anything...

If I lock myself up in my house, and persist in never leaving my house, I will never find out evidence that for instance Sydney (20.000 km from here) exists. How can I ever testify then that Sydney really exists?
