What is in common between material and immaterial things? If nothing is in common, what is the link between them so that one can cause the other?

I didn't say that. I was merely iterating Berkeley's notion. To Berkeley, there is no material cause.

Yes, but he asserts that by the premise, material (which if you think about is Opposite of immaterialism) has nothing in common with immaterial, and so there can't be a causal link.

I think this is stronger then any argument I ever done so this guy is good Tongue

IT's very well thought of and presented well.

And I think I just further emphasized why that premise is completely true.
