Haywood's principal mistake is that he took upon himself to prove a general assumption and is clearly not doing well with it. Bear in mind that general assumptions are the hardest to prove even in seemingly simple abstract cases.
You've claimed earlier that our reality has to have a creator. Even with your 'phenomenological' hypothesis of sub-realities (which is build upon a false premise) it doesn't follow as you're never able to prove that our reality is a sub-reality and it exactly fits your 'phenomenological' criteria (which have to be presented alongside with your hypothesis).
Quote:I am not claiming there has to be a creator for every sub reality. If you think this then you clearly do not understand the argument I am making. I am claiming that since we observe sub realities coming into existence via the hand of intellect....and never observe sub realities coming into existence sans intellect....that fact gives strength to the conjecture that all sub realities require intellects to come into existence. I am making an inductive argument...not a deductive one.
