I do not have the time to repeat stuff to you - which you wont read and consider anyway......
I don't think so. I certainly had discussions at the JREF forum about this issue of the circularity of providing evidence for or against materialism. Although I couldn't provide a reasonable and consistant framework on how idealism might operate, I did not come across a valid reason as to why evidence can support materialism vs idealism. Since you consider the case to be the contrary, it would serve the debate much better if you could either explain your reasoning or make a specific reference to another thread instead of refering me back to explanations that for all we know have never taken place. If you can't be bothered to discuss this topic then you know what to do
