The Left won’t really understand this but they will “follow the science” and decide that Reality doesn’t exist, which is to say that you have your Truth and they have their Truth and both are equal except you lose because you’re racist. Science says so.

The Left lives in their heads and acts with their emotions. Reality, like truth, is not a value of the Left.

You looked at Free Republic in order to post this.
Therefore Free Republic now exists.

And you no doubt read or posted on many various issues on Free Republic.
Those issues now exist.

It’s all your fault!

It’s like eating from the tree of knowledge in the garden. Now we all exist and we have all these issues because you just had to look. Thanks a lot!!

So Plato was a quantum physicist.

This is really just the same thing philosophers have been suggesting for millennia.

Perception is reality.

To use their example, that the moon doesn’t exist until you see it, and measure it, well, all the atom, and subatomic particles, and those things we define as mass and energy, between the moon and the space around the moon is no different... until you start to define differences, like density of matter, or start to sense the energy, or start to quantify mass. Otherwise, all existence is just existence, the differences in all the properties are only significant when someone comes along and perceives them, or measures them.

Until someone comes along and decides for themselves where the moon stops and everything besides the moon starts, it’s all just whatever it is; Nothing, everything, anything.

“...wriggles vertically, horizontally, or both ways at the same time.”

That’s my “gotta go to the bathroom this minute” dance, so it actually exists.

All quantum physics proves is that we are living in a computer simulation program. Which does not contradict the Bible as far as I can see.

Materialists have it backwards. Matter did not create life.

If we are living in a computer simulation program.
There there must be a reality in order for that computer simulation to exist.
And in that reality there must be intelligent beings who have made significant technological advancements in order to not only build a computer but to build one that can model our entire universe.

“The Moon isn’t necessarily there if you don’t look at it.”

So the moon doesn’t exist for blind people on a beach so they don’t have to worry about tides.
