Again, you made a statement:
I use an initial premise that material precedes Life. Do you know anyone who does not?
And I once asked you if you believed your mind ultimately came from mindlessness and you answered No .
So, do you believe that this preceding agent was material? (Again, many people believe it was not.)
You don't have to if you don't want to. If you won't tell me why you want to know, just say so and we'll be done. It's that easy.
