Physical idealism

[bennyboy]

Your argument, in effect, is "If it aint DNA, it's ideas".  

That's not even true here....DNA is not the only mechanism involved with regards to our limbs, or numbers of digits, or what have you......as we've already discussed.  Proposing that something is independent of one mechanism, but due to another, such as earthlike conditions...doesn't really move the chains for the "idea of limbess", now does it?  It moves the chains for earthlike conditions.  Your comments -continue- to establish that material interactions are fundamental to the things you call physical ideas, which is 180 degrees away from what you set out to do, I think.

You've said this now maybe half a dozen times, and I keep saying that I'm not talking about cosmogonic idealism, but about the relationship between chaos and persistent forms. I'm not bothered by your insistence that it supports a material view, because that's the view I'm discussing. You gotta let go of past conversations and realize that I'm taking an interest in something else right now.
