What philosophical evidence is there against believing in non-physical entities?
#84
RE: What philosophical evidence is there against believing in non-physical entities?
I strongly dislike it when people dismiss the fact that my wife is the coolest female in the world just because they've had no personal experiences of anything of the kind.  I've had personal experiences to that effect daily for more than a decade now, and I value them greatly for what they are and what benefits they bring me.

Unfortunately, neither you nor I have corroborating data...so them's the breaks, and neither of us should take it too rough when someone dismisses either claim on that count.  Wink

I don;t know that not finding evidence of the paranormal has anything to do with atheism, btw. Plenty of atheists do believe in "the paranormal"...and plenty of theists don't.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
