So are you saying that you do believe something can exist, but neither physically nor just conceptually.
Yes or no?
I don't know. Because I don't even know what it means. Thus the thread.

Do you believe that something can exist that you have no knowledge of or understanding at all whatsoever about it?
Yes or no?

Is this a too difficult question for you?
I certainly think it's possible.
Thus far, no. But you haven't actually answered my question, so I keep waiting for an actual explanation.

I guess it was too difficult
for you to answer with either a yes or a no.
How come or do you want to try again?
Do you believe that something can exist that you have no knowledge of or understanding at all whatsoever about it?
Yes or no?
I'm not obligated to answer things exactly as you'd like, sorry. Asked and answered.

I am in the process of answering your question.
By using you as the example.

Suit yourself...makes it easier for me.
I wait with baited breath.
Well, then explain what it means. What does it mean to 'exist'?
A concept of a supernatural being that made the universe and gives moral laws.

I read a quote today which seems relevant:
"if all religions and their texts were wiped out tomorrow,
they would never come back in the same way.
People would invent other BS [Belief Systems] to believe,
but it wouldn't be the same BS.
If all of our scientific knowledge were wiped out,
we would eventually rediscover it all again, exactly the same."

OK, no I do not believe something can exist that is not physical or conceptual.
Of course. I'm sure that a great many things in this universe exist that I have no knowledge of and no understanding of. Why do you think that is a relevant question?

If you were as wise as you believe that you be
then you would already know
what I have done to thee.

Here we go around in circles.
I don't think I'm terribly wise. I'm still engaging in this conversation, for goodness' sake.
Still no explanation relevant to the thread, then?

Why do you think that? I am sure there are many *physical* things that I have no knowledge of.
