The world is real or it is not.a virtual reality world would likewise have simulative objects that function like real objects, but are not real objects. 'is the matrix real or not?' Quote Morpheus

Captain Scarlet Wrote:You cannot place an adjective in front of it to describe what type of real it is....Objectively is an and adverb... it is describing the verb of the sentence 'is.' this by virtue adds to the description of the noun 'it' which is being described also by the adjective 'real.' fail.
Captain Scarlet Wrote:To say you do not live in an objectively real world, is to say you live in a fantasy world, whether you created or someone else did.it really doesn't matter whether you consider it real or not. the point is it functions like a real world, thus you would interact in it with the same functional purposes as a real world.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
