That's not a switch. Everything else is just background noise. Let us see demonstrable proof that souls exist.
Quote:First and foremost, I've been claiming that this is a non-physical organ is non-physical since the first post. It will not appear like a liver in front of your eyeballs. I cannot point. It does not have spacial dimensions.
And yet you seem to not only know that it exists, but you claim to know its properties and that it interacts with the brain. You say you know a lot about something you can't show me.
Quote:As for the proof, that's already been done. I even cited it! First you said quantity was material. Then you said it wasn't material, but only a concept. Now you have made 2 demands for proof, one I completed before you asked and the other impossible. Also, you continue the accusations of assumption, but never say where. If I have assumed something, I could probably go back and prove it.
Your entire argument is based on the assumption that non-physical organs are a thing, the assumption that souls exist, the assumption that the brain is incapable of dealing with immaterial concepts, and the assumption that metaphysics is a real thing. There is nothing but assumptions. There is nothing solid or demonstrably true about anything you say.

Not to sound objectionable, but that doesn't tell me what coherent metaphysics is, or why it is worth bringing up in this exchange. I know I can just look it up, and I intend to do so, but I see in my future an interpretation from you which is nothing like what I will glean from my efforts, so if you could explain what you mean by it, it would help.
