[MD] Dawkins a Materialist (is watching?)

Ron,

Complete misinterpretation of what I said, it's bad enough when I put my
foot in my mouth - it's worse when you put your foot in my mouth.

Platt,
It would seem that Micah is the measure of all things, if reality
independent of humans can not be proven,
Reality outside of Micah can not be proven either and if he believes
this, he IS the measure of his universe.

I just wish he'd settle the middle east conflict.

If you want to believe existence doesn't exist, be my guest. But somehow
I expect that the words above exist. Otherwise, why would I reply?
