Quote:Therefore, if you are confident the computer screen is real, you believe it is real.My senses detect a computer screen. Based on the data I'm receiving from my senses, it's there. No belief.
Quote: (You do not "know" it is real, we have already established that we can't know if things are are, because by definition if they are real they exist beyond perception, and things that are beyond perception are unknown)How are they beyond our perception (senses) if they are real. That is my question.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
