No;why should, I because you say so?
I'm not arguing; I have not made any claims, you have. Put up or shut up.Two empirical proofs will be just dandy.
Are you saying you don't believe my claim that I can prove I exist? Is that what you are saying?

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Some of the stupidest arguments in the world, these 'Ah but you can't really prove anything - what's the colour of happiness? How much does electricity weigh? If a tree falls on my head, does the tree really exist?' things. Ryft is the absolute master of writing lots of long words without saying anything except the world's most verbose God of the Gaps argument. The only purpose of it is to bamboozle. Imagine the pathetic God who could only be proved to exist through such a cumbersome appeal to 'logic'. Shame there's not so many of those resurrections, talking bushes, rivers of blood and global floods around any more, isn't it? Would make things quite a bit clearer, eh?

And if you sit on a live wire your ass will assure you that it exists, too!

Like I am going to spend even one solitary second writing lots of long words defending something I firmly reject. Good luck finding anything I have written that presents a God-of-the-gaps argument.

Yes.
I'm NOT saying you don't, exist,only that I'd like to see not less than two proofs,accompanied by empirical evidence. I'm unconvinced that it's possible to actually prove one exists, but am happy to be corrected.
Quote:Philosobabble is for clowns and my name ain't Krusty.
Perhaps ,but you're beginning to sound a lot like Krusty.
You have made a positive claim; viz "I can easily prove I exist" .I have declined to take your word and asked you to prove your claim. If it's so easy,'philosobabble' (whatever that is) should not be necessary.

PM me your address, send me the air fare, oh and some spending money, and I'll turn up at your house and stamp on your face repeatedly - but only long enough so that you still retain consciousness, so you can never forget that I proved I exist to you.
I'll show you my passport as the second piece of evidence.
