Non-material electron fairies are the secret cause of voltage is as plausible as any other dualistic claim. There's no way of knowing which dualistic explanation for something, if any, is right.
There's no way to tell if anything materialistic is true or not. <insert solipsism> Regardless, it will come to a conclusion by its own rules, and the only truth to it is in following its own rules to its own conclusion.
Yes, such are plausible. Do you have a problem with the universe which even materialism cannot know without faith?

Perhaps not to you, but if it changes anything: it's useful to someone.

And there was me thinking you were just full of philosophical tosh. Let me read it again...
No it's philosophical tosh alright

Philosophical tosh that you've had three days to think up a cogent response to, and yet we see nothing.
I guess this is just more of your patented "evasive bullshit tosh."
(Shall I bring up the fact that in a recent thread, you forgot the context set by a post a mere 3 hours earlier? Naw. Best not to mention it. It was such an anomaly for a deep thinker like you. It doesn't merit revisiting.)

According to urban dictionary, tosh has something to do with a guy's nutsack. How charming of you to imply that I tea bagged you but a) I'm a girl, and b) I wouldn't let you anywhere near my crotch.

Tosh is informal british english for 'nonsense' or 'rubbish'.
Farce dictionaries, and all that... y'know?

I like your posts ap. I guess I rag on you because your position on religion seems at odds with the rest.
