Prove you Exist.

[doppelganger]

This sounds more like a matter of faith.

I'm pretty sure I've read many posts in which sandy specifically says he's convinced the stories about Jesus are not fiction. You could just ask him. :rainbow1:

Why? We cannot say what sandy may or may not have experienced.

Of course . . . before I went to law school I studied Philosophy.

Wow it appears I am certainly not treading uncharted waters then.

I doubt, therefore I am?

I doubt... therefore I might be.

A math-prof friend of mine always said the answer to "How do I know I exist?" was "Who wants to know?"

Interesting point. I think existence has more answers than yes or no. There are levels of existence - the universe might be said to exist, but (according to most people), is not aware of its own existence. The same might be said of many life forms such as bacteria, or any life that is not self-aware. Then here we are contemplating our own existence, but what are we contemplating - the existence or our body(which will continue on as matter or energy after we die), or the existence of our own self-awareness, which will die when we die(IMHO).

Not-I *is* thinking, wherefore I am.

Not-I am.

The starter of this thread, the intent of which was I believe that the existence of a supposed Jesus could not be disproven.

Nice supposition...wrong though.

I might even answer!

I may not even be able to prove I exist except to myself. I think!

a definite maybe.

You exist, you just can't prove it to anyone else.

He'd have to prove he exists before I could take his word for your existance.

 

[DallasApple]

He'd have to prove he exists before I could take his word for your existance.

But he wouldnt be trying to prove my existance to anyone else but himself..

So lets just say ...at least 2 people can prove their existance to one another..By some combination of cause and affect..Throw in some senses..And at least you can prove you exist in some way to one other..

Like I said...unless this is the matrix..but then still we exist..at least to oursleves..

People existed in the matrix.

 

[DallasApple]

People existed in the matrix.

How???...Can you prove that movie existed? Just because I said it did and you remember it too proves nothing..

I am therefore I exist.

 

[crystalonyx]

I am therefore I exist.

I think it is true that personal existence is simply your own self-awareness.

 

[sandandfoam]

I think it is true that personal existence is simply your own self-awareness.

Do you think that when we are not self aware we don't exist ?
