Quote:Ontologically, there is no proof material world exists, as far as I am aware of. For all we know, it can be matrix like.Which would require a subtle shift in how we use the terms - but ultimately "the matrix" would just be "the universe".
Quote:Also, if we have a soul, then it's not unlikely we been given perception or knowledge of having that soul.I think you went off the rails here. Firstly in the "if we have a soul"..but lay that aside. What about the existence of a soul would make it any more likely that we'd be given knowledge or perception of it? We don't even have to ask "if we have dna" but we weren't given any knowledge or perception of that.....you've left something unspoken.
