i know i exist or i wouldnt be witnessing my existence. You also say alot without saying anything of substance it seems. There is no evidence this is a dream as we experience dreams and can view people in this state, all avalible evidence points to this being reality with consequences and we can manipulate dream states. Remove your pineal gland and see how much you dream.

you could continue being elusive but if you want to be obtuse and ring around the fringes of what is absolute etc... be my guest.

richard fenyman knows what it is like to KNOW something, intensive study and evidence is all that is required. Beleiving in nonprovable concepts is departing from reality, come join us.

I can vaguely remember that we discussed this topic before. :D

I agree, we know that we exist. But that knowledge does not come from within the realm of science, a realm itself completely embedded within and existing only because of the consciousness which must be there in the first place. The certainty with which you are able to say "I exist", can never be derived from scientific theories. The "evidence" you speak of is restricted to the scientific aspect of the world, which by definition of science is exactly that - one aspect. Regarding "nonprovable concepts", science by definition never delivers any prove. The only absolute truth there is must therefore be found somewhere else. And absolute truth does exist, without any doubt.
