Argument against atheism

[Perhaps]

It wouldn't negate existence, just any perception of it, cmon people.....What you're basically saying here is that if human beings weren't around to percieve anything, nothing would be perceived by human beings (just as one example), well no shit! Rocks don't depend upon our consciousness for existence, we depend upon our consciousness to perceive their existence.

Not just humans, but any conscious being. If none existed then would that negate existence, that is the question. Remember, your perception that we depend upon our consciousness to perceive what already exists is only true if external items exist. But the only way to say that they exist is to have something with a conscious determine they exist.

Does anyone see what I'm trying to say?

[edit:] I just realized how dumb this would sound to someone who just clicks on the last page of the thread.
