Non-existence
RE: Non-existence
(August 20, 2009 at 10:59 am)Tiberius Wrote: The evidence for a reality that is as it appears is the success of science in telling us about reality. We make accurate predictions based on this science, and they hold true.

If reality is not as it appears, science would not produce results.


So we are left with the conclusion that reality must be as it appears because it appears to be reality? I am not very sure if I know what you mean by this. This looks to me like you are saying that there are no contridictions-e.g. random scenery changes-hence reality as we know it must be real. I take this as evidence that reality is stable-not quite the same thing when you really think about it, and I don't see how it proves anything beyond stability.
