Not to discredit your argument, but "philosophical evidence"?

There is no such thing. You can have a philosophical arguemnt, theory, etc... but evidence is something that can be proven - Philosophy is guess work at its best.

Philosophy of mind - The branch of the philosophy of science concerned specifically with psychology. It is concerned with the sorts of models, theories and explanations used in psychology to address psychological phenomena.

Philosophy of psychology -The branch of philosophy that is concerned with the nature of mental phenomena in general and the role of consciousness, sensation, perception, concepts, action, reasoning, intention, belief, memory, etc. in particular. Standard problems include those of free will, personal identity, mind-body problem, other minds, computationalism, etc.


See? Those are definitions from a phylosphy web page. I don't make it up. (of course, I might percieve that I do and that perception might be the sum total of the reality of the situation. --but that's just my phylosophy... LOL)

I understand what you're saying, but there are some 'philosophical arguments' that I think any intellectually honest person would have to accept as evidence for the existence of God. One I am thinking of is the absurdity of an infinite regression of past events as proof of a starting point for time, which can only be caused by something that is itself outside of time. Another is natural law/common law/moral conscience as an indicator of objective morality and purpose for individual existence.
