I think not.

Cogito ergo sum("I think, therefore I am", or better "I am thinking, therefore I exist")- Rene Decartes (17th century French Philosopher)

Sum ergo cogito (I think, therefore I am) Jean Paul Sarte (20th Century French Philosopher)

Can a person that does not think be said to exist at all?

How would that person prove their existence?

Is it possible to exist and not think even at some rudimentary pre cognitive level?

"I think, therefore I am"

Don't forget the goat god Pan's: "I stink, therefore I am."
(Plagiarized humor from Tom Robbins)

That's what comes to my mind reading the same old comments from a few of the usual suspects on these threads.

Have you ever been interviewed by Jesse Waters? I’ve seen some of those. Not a pretty picture of the “well educated”.

I just LOVE softball!!


Is it possible to be a Catholic, and not think even at some rudimentary pre cognitive level?

Mary is faster than a computer.

There is no time in Heaven.

Jesus will always do what His mother asks of Him.

Eat this wafer or lose out on the good stuff.
