All we can know for sure is our existence and while we need some sort of medium (sensual experience) to be able to know ourself, it is not the experience that is absolute, but the consciousness that is absolute.


Consciousness has no bearing, whatsoever on existence. Most humans like most other life forms on the planet, spend most of their time wandering the planet, blissfully unaware of what goes on around them, outside of their immediate surroundings. They simply react to the stimuli of their surroundings.



Fact is that the physical world exists, whether we believe it, or not - whether we see it or not. Our perceptions may be limited by our level of consciousness, but that does not change the the fact of existence. You may not see the bus coming down the street and therefore it does not exist, but I assure you that were you to step in its path, you would learn all too quickly - and probably all to fleetingly - to believe its reality. At that point then, the question of your consciousness may become a meaningful discussion, but you would need to have that with someone else, entirely, because for us, here, you would cease to exist.



Sure, from a philosophical, and even psychological perspective, consciousness and existence might have some relevance, but the universe cares not whether you believe, or disbelieve, whether you are conscious, or not, or even whether you exist or not.

Likewise, God either exists, or does not, regardless of our perception, or lack of, and using our reasoning to justify our belief, or lack of, is equally irrelevant.

I personally believe that God is, as I perceive his hand in much of what has gone on my my realm of existence. To others, he is no more real than that bus.

No one is saying that things don't exist beyond what we are conscious of, or that something is not responsible for what we become conscious of: to this I will concede with the rest of your arguments.

Your quote above is not correct though. If you had no consciousness whatsoever, you would not exist and therefore neither would the bus, God, or anything else, as far as you are concerned. Now I hope you don't dismiss what is being said here: because now we might be able to actually have some meaningful conversation that could produce actual stimulating discussion that could push our minds into new areas of expansion.

Some have stated we are God, because of this question and others deny that is what it means... This is something I actually haven't explored and would enjoy pushing this envelope: as it might give some insights into new thoughts.

The only problem with that is that you cannot prove that you are finite - you are aware therefore you exist but you could be finite or, just as easily, you could be infinite but restricting yourself because you don't believe it.

The *only* thing you know is that you exist - you know nothing of your status other than that.

Equally, were you somehow to prove that you were finite that would in no way prove that another entity existed or that, if it did, it would be infinite.

BUT, for God's sake man, you haven't yet proved a single thing. Yes, I know-I know, if the Bible tells me so ........ that's your thing - accepting an unproven notion as the fundamental foundation of all that you spew in sequential fashion. Exactly as the Bible-basher. HOWEVER, you really don't understand what I am saying to you so why do you insist upon jamming up the logic of this subject?







"Denial" has nothing to do with it. If you cannot prove existence (and you, sheep - clearly CANNOT) then denial is another thing all-together. Your English is lacking comprehensive understanding. To "believe" or "disbelieve" are bookends (so to speak) around which "not BELIEVING" is nestled. You very obviously do not understand this concept and it is causing you a mountain of frustration.


OK, produce a logical argument to show that "I think, therefore, I am" is not axiomatic.

For "something" (nature unknown) to be self aware it must exist. Whatever its form and whatever environment it exists in is irrelevant, "it" thinks, therefore, it exists somewhere in some form.



Give me some reason to deny that fact - if you cannot then it is undeniable.

NO, it is your statement that is on stage in this discussion. The burden of proof is still yours. It's you who needs to "go first". We're already into several pages of your procrastination in "showing/proving" the point that brought us here - yet you haven't yet made it.

Everything found in this thread, on these many pages, is exclusive commentary on the proof you've yet to provide. Read it from the start if you doubt that. Hiding behind rocks and beneath the carpeting isn't going to let you off the hook.

Now, let's see your proof ............ :yh_whistl

Welcome to the discussion Bryn. I agree with pretty much everything you stated above.

Let me start off by saying, I originally made the comment: "I think I can show it is more reasonable to believe in God than to believe in the world you actually see." Little did I know that it would end up being an endless discussion about people trying to claim that their own conscious existence is in doubt.

My claim was only going to be, that since what we see is in question and the only provable fact is our own consciousness, it is more reasonable to believe that we exist in consciousness (as that is the only proof we have), and that we came from a conscious being, then believing that what we see is real: as we have absolutely no evidence of that.

Anyways, it is late and I have to get to bed, but gl dealing with h.t.: if nothing else she will teach you patience.

The argument is not so much whether we are conscious, but whether the world exists without consciousness. I simple offer that existence is irrelevant to that consciousness.

And what, exactly constitutes consciousness. Must a being be sentient to be conscious. Or is an awareness of the activity around a being enough to constitute consciousness?

Most mammals, birds, and even fish can perceive other beings in their immediate surroundings and react to the other creatures in their proximity. Does that qualify as consciousness?

If not, then at what point in development do we transition from "awareness" to "consciousness"?

While it is possible that all of this is simply a figment of my imagination and would cease to exist without my being conscious of it, I think evidence to the contrary abounds.

The old bit, "If a tree falls in the forest but nobody was around to hear it, would it make a noise?" comes to mind. The supposition is that if nobody is around whose ears can be reached by the soundwaves, then the soundwaves are not converted to actual sound as perceived by a conscious being, there for no noise.

Of course anyone who has been conscious in a forest will likely attest to the existence of numerous other species, most of which have some sensing device for detecting sound. It is then reasonable to assume that soundwaves, hence noise, exists to be perceived regardless of the level of consciousness of the beings around to perceive it.

Evidence shows that Earth has been around for about 4 and a half billion years, yet I have been conscious of it for less than a century. Our collective consciousness can seem to recall a few thousand years. Do we suppose that all of that evidence is the figment of our collective imaginations.

Of course if we hold on to the notion, as Sheep has suggested, that the world does not exist without consciousness, that opens the possibility that the universe also requires a consciousness to exist. And that consciousness then must supercede all of our collective awareness, and has been around for a very long time.

You not only claimed that the thought came from a conscious being (which goes without saying) but also that the conscious being was necessarily finite (which cannot be proven) and that the "fact" that the conscious being was finite (unproven) proved that an infinite being must exist. There can be no logical basis for this last claim.

sheep;1452797 wrote: The discussion is regarding the reasonableness that God exists... Let's use your argument regarding the physical world "It does not exist therefore there is no need to prove that it might not." In the same way that dreams don't exist.

There is greater reason to believe that God exists, then the physical world, as only one thing can be claimed to be fact and that is the consciousness that one possesses. This is the bases for this whole discussion and I have yet to hear anyone make a claim that can prove that the physical world can be proven apart from consciousness. But here, I will help you do that, by quoting someone that has published that consciousness can not be known apart from the beholding of what it sees.

He quotes Paul Natorp: EinleitungindiePsychologie, 1888, pp. 14, 112:

"The existence of consciousness, although it is the fundamental fact of psychology, can indeed be laid down as certain, can be brought out by analysis, but can neither be defined nor deduced from anything but itself."

To which he states: "Now my contention is exactly the reverse of this. Experience, I believe, has no such inner duplicity; and the separation of it into consciousness and content comes, not by way of subtraction, but by way of addition -- the addition, to a given concrete piece of it, other sets of experiences, in connection with which severally its use or function may be of two different kinds."

Classics in the History of Psychology -- James (1904)

The problem is that without consciousness one only has innate matter and no awareness. The fact that we do have awareness of self, does not prove the existence of matter, it only proves the existence of self.

I am trying to help you out here, but the case is a useless one: as your case is beyond hope.


I wasn't talking about the physical world I was talking about god. You exist it does not follow that god must also exist. You can postulate that god made you but you can;t prove that he even exists.

I can go on from my own existence to satisfy myself (note myself not anybody else ) that the physical world exists and get on with life to my own satisfaction.

But the question was does god exist as the one who created it all. I don't need to imagine a creator and I can't prove that there is one. I don't need to prove that there isn't but you do because you claim that there must be one. It is not a more reasonable belief it is just the one you have chosen because reason does not come in to it. You cannot prove there is a god just saying it makes more sense to believe that there is one is actually nonsense.

It is intuitive to think that we are doing the thinking, but what if we do not create these thoughts-what if these thoughts come to us? If that is the case, then we have no proof that an "I" exists.

We simply believe our intuition that we exist or live as true skeptics that cannot even be sure of our very existence as sentient beings. In either case it makes no logical sense to assume a creator. Who created the creator and I'm sorry but god always was and has been just does not cut the mustard.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,: says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

Revelation 1:8


that's merely the way the sophistry of the religious trying to stop people thinking about it because the inescapable conclusion is that you believe in god because you want to not because there is a shred of evidence. You have faith because you don't have any reason for your belief.

I disagree. Reading through a number of Sheep's posts, it seems that he is saying that without consciousness, we do not exist.

I am saying that he is incorrect, and that existence has little to do with consciousness.

I have been in states of complete lack of consciousness, and yet I still existed. I am certain of that fact, and the cartoon characters that were painted on my freshly shaved head were proof positive of that fact.

His starting point from the very beginning has be that the only thing that we can prove is our existence - he even quotes Descartes "I think therefore I am" as the point he is trying to make.

His starting point was:

There is only 1 provable fact: consciousness. Since this is true, everything else is and will always remain a theory. As I stated before: it is more believable to believe in God then it is the world we see.

While you are sitting alone with only your thoughts, that certainly is a valid place to start.

But if you never move from there, what is the point of you?

Going back to Descartes, even he pointed out that reality is verified by the senses, and by memory.

He had far more to say about it than "I think, therefore I am."

So you can, indeed, prove far more than simply your own consciousness - Depending of course on to whom you wish to prove it.

He's also doing the same thing that decartes did. he wanted to prove god existed his sense of self was to him self evident proof god existed since god must have made him.

You summed that up real well, gmc. "If I don't have the answer, then it must be god". Really, how unimaginative.

Neither boundaries of consciousness, the "fact" that the conscious is finite (or otherwise), nor this exchanged I'm having with you at this very moment can be proven to actually exist by the science of man. There's no "sidestepping" in my reply. The proof of "being" is in question. I don't see that there is any proof of it. There are possibilities of additional dimensions that we do not understand, and anyway, if we can accept the colliding of two particles in space as being the "beginning" (without questioning the origin of those particles) yet scoff at the idea of a God-like creator then, well .... we're in deep space without a rudder.

I am not speaking for LarsMac or anyone else - other than for Sheep. He's made 2 separate claims.

1). That he can "show" (prove, presumably) "that it is more reasonable to believe in God than to believe in the world you actually see."



2). ... his logic for saying so by stating, "There is only 1 provable fact: consciousness." Then he goes on to dream up his own cocamanie built upon "the 1 provable fact" ....... which, by the way, is still both unproven and insufficiently motivated.

The thing religious people seem incapable of understanding is that atheism is simply the standpoint that on balance there probably isn't a god. Agnostic-Atheist: does not believe god exists, but it can't be proved. Atheists who believe he doesn't exist have a similar problem problem to sheep in that they start out from the standpoint they want to believe there isn't one. You can't win and each side looks at the other and just throws verbal rocks the more intelligent just agree to live and let live. Sadly bigotry seems to be in our DNA.

To paraphrase the more godly on this planet Blessed am I for you are all going to hell and I'll kill anyone that disagrees.

And I thought my stunned silence was due to my not following the philosophical jargon and all the ins and outs of the technicallities of the so called arguments.............because I was dumb.

It turns out I am the clever one................of course I can't prove it.

Believing in God (any God) is only "logical" when there is no logic within reach. I don't mean that to be critical though, just an observation.

My problem (well, you know what I mean) is when God-believers scrape together a whole set of details, rules, do's and don'ts, and "facts". This is particularly perplexing as nothing about "God" is based upon any facts at all.

It's a subtle con. You want to be reasonable and fair but when up against those who believe a basic premise and have an unreasoning faith in it and also have no interest in being fair or tolerant and want to switch to arguing about the nature of that particular deity you have no chance. Religious persecution will always exist because they can never win against reason and intolerance is part of the creed.

Everybody's I think. Each generation seems to need to learn that intolerance and disdain for others is not a good long term survival strategy.

... and what he is saying is that since unproved consciousness has now been entered into the bible of "provable facts" (the basic premise you speak of ) anything that is not in line with it must be false. Well, sorry but consciousness has not been proven so I'd like to know why anyone ought to take it into consideration in supporting anything on the subject. "All jeans are blue" - so red and green ones are simply figments of your imagination. A mirage perhaps.

Now, show that it is the Atheists that are on a groundless foundation and the above kind of statements are the types of things that come out of their mouths.

Common miss fuzzywuzzy, you can surely disprove the words of such an ignorant soul that claims, not only is there a God, but that claims, it is the Atheist that is the one that base their belief totally upon quicksand.


did that member just call me 'common'?

Petrol has sky rocketed so can't go for a drive. Tides out, can't fish. FB is boring. entertain me !!!! I demand it!!!

Nah I'm on strike. It's coming on winter here, it's almost hibernation time. Plus there's more to an intellectual conversation than big ole' words and obstreperous argument.
