How would one interact, or even know of the existence of a non-physical personality? If it resides on a computer drive or in the pages of a book, it has a physical embodiment. If I discern it only in my mind it has a physical embodiment (my brain and its electro-chemical reactions). So, your proposal is untestable on its face.
Your dog's may beg to differ. Are you saying they have no intelligence or design about them whatsoever? Are they made of stone? Please tell me what attributes one should look for in describing . . .
Personality
Intelligence
Design
I hope you agree with me that these things exist. How do we know when and where they exist? Is it only when they are inscribed on paper or on a computer drive?
Also, please tell me once again, so I understand you, what proposal I am making that is "untestable on its face."
Thank you.
