Is it immaterial chad, or are you committing the same equivocation? Is there anything to this "god" shit, anything at all, that isn't a barren expression of predictable human folly?

Truth, however, I see as a sentient being's perception of those facts. As it is limited by the perceptual abilities of the observer, it is by necessity subjective and provisional, incapable of becoming an absolute.

The human brain is a function of logic which is immaterial...And saying that is just as meaningless as what you asserted. The human brain is a function of logic?

Logic is immaterial? Logic is a function of the human brain which is material.
I said the "laws of logic", for example the law of non contradiction.
How are the " laws of logic" separate from the material human brain?

I seriously doubt that. Logic is an achievement our electro-chemical meat bag brains can achieve on occasion but that's about it.

The law of non contradiction is flawed. It can't always be applied.

Particle physics/quantum mechanics, I'll give two. Schrodinger's Cat and photons.

Yeah, I'd like to hear him explain that without contradicting himself!

So the first one, when practiced in reality, has either two completely random outcomes is that correct?
And i couldn't find anything about photons being contradictory so if you could elaborate please.

1. Correct, A can = B and A can not = B, until the box is opened.
2. Photon, depending on the situation can be considered a wave or a particle. So particle can = particle and particle does not = wave.
