RE: Berkeley's argument for the existence of God

(March 29, 2018 at 3:35 pm)robvalue Wrote: Hmm. It reads like, "Conflation, conflation, conflation, GOD". Charles Barkley appeals to incredulity at the end and pulls God out his ass.

I would agree that we strictly never experience reality at all. We experience our own experiences, generated by our brain. We are forever trapped in a VR of our own making. Whether or not there's anything else out there can only be inferred and not tested. I have no idea where a SUPREME BEING enters into this though.

Read the argument carefully.
