What do scientists say about existence?

I'm not going to reproduce your drivel, especially as it boils down to "the more stupid I talk, the more I prove god". But seriously mariosep, stop insulting us over being more intelligent, more curious and more sceptical than you are.

Frankly why do you periodically troll here, seeing as it is causing you so much anger and mental trauma? Would it not be better for you to stick to your unthinking and incurious kind?

What do scientists say about existence?

They point out the window and say, "Hey, look: Existence!"

Or as Boswell quoted Johnson:

After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley's ingenious sophistry to prove the nonexistence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it -- "I refute it thus."
