Dualism

[there4eyeM]

Dualism: one believes in it or one doesn't.

If you can’t prove it, you can’t conclude anything that extends from any or all of those things. How do you know any one of the three exists?

I didn't say I can't prove it. I asked why would I need to prove it because it should be self evident, right?

But if you want definitive proof, look no further than your DNA which are the definitive set of instructions for "THE SYSTEM."

Can you prove DNA exists?

Is photographic evidence enough proof for you?

Of course not.

Then I suppose these amazing animations of human micro machines based upon what we have learned through science won't convince you either, huh?

You are missing the point

I don't believe I did. See?

Dualism

Is the body separate and distinct from the mind? If so, how can the mind influence the movement of the body? An old question, but a good one.

You have not solved for either side of the equation. Pictures of microscopes and such do not address the question at hand or any part of it.

This says otherwise...

No. Mind, body and soul are integral.

The physical world is entirely abstract and without ‘actuality’ apart from its linkage to consciousness. Both sides of reality -- the quantitative and the qualitative, the physical and the mental -- are compatible with each other, and can be embraced simultaneously. Matter and mind are complementary aspects of the same reality. One has no more basis for considering the existence of matter without its complementary aspect of mind, than for asking that elementary particles not also be waves. If I say the stuff of the world is mind‑stuff that has a metaphysical ring to it. But if I say that ultimate reality is expressed in the solutions of the equations of quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and quantum field theory -- that sounds like good, modern physics. Yet what are those equations, indeed what is mathematics, but mind‑stuff? -- virtually the ultimate in mind‑stuff and for that reason deeply mysterious. Everything is connected.

It most certainly does not.

Then it shouldn't be hard for you to explain why not, right?

They're not separate. The mind is the software. The brain is the hardware. They're different, but exist in the same reality.

How do you know either one exists?

The same way we know anything else exists. Seems like a different question than that posed by dualism.

Have to solve one part of the equation before you can solve the whole thing.

Ok. I answered. What's next?

I didn't say "answer," I said solve. Show your work.

LOL - nevermind. You can break any question down to "how do you know it exists?" Unless you have a more subtle point to make, I see no point in tail-chasing.

hehe, your desperate need for a 'win' is noted.
