Berkeley's argument for the existence of God
#20
RE: Berkeley's argument for the existence of God
It's not a flat assertion, ideas are non-material. Atheists believe material brain forms it, some Theists believe there is dualism, this guy proved both are wrong, and there is only non-material existence.

He does so by presenting a paradox, that relies on the truth "something with no common interconnecting anything with something cannot cause it or influence it".

And the fact is materialism is defined to be opposite to immaterialism by definition.

Fat, you cannot just attack the conclusion to refute the argument. That's not helpful.

You have to attack one of the premises.
