EvF,
Ok, its like this, if someone tells me they saw the sun crash to the ground I would reject the reality behind it without further evidence but I would understand why they held a belief in what they saw. I would also consider it a waste of time trying to argue them out of their position because I know the effect of personal experience.
As far as dualism is concerned I think we can just agree that there is no thing besides the material world. After thinking about posts regarding this thread and other musings I have had, I would either have to go back to being a theist and believe in my triune model of reality OR give up on personal experience as evidence.
I concede that personal experience is not evidence and there is probably NOT a soul. This is why we have these discussions though right?
