Quote:Please demonstrate how posts are direct evidence for someone’s existence.
The internet is a human construct, a method of communication and information exchange. While it is true that there are also internet bots (semi-autonomous computer code that simulates human communication) trolling various bulletin boards, the probability that you are a webot posting here is likely very small - primarily because you are just not that interesting. Judging from your responses, it is obvious that you are a human being, although some here might take exception to that notion. If you are a human being, and are responding to posts made here, then it goes without question that you exist. Now, you might want to try to argue that existence itself can be questioned, and indeed, anything can be questioned. But then, the probability that we would have sensory apparatus that allows us to detect the universe in which we reside given said questioned existence is exceedingly low.
I post, therefore, I am.
You post, therefore you are, such as you are, whatever you are.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
