You do not exist

Sadly while my opponent cleverly words his sentences, And quotes, He or she (assuming he) is missing the bigger picture on the wall that says "WE DON'T KNOW". You think you know, But you don't know. We think we know the answer, But we don't know. This can be said about Religion on which one is correct, Or if any, This can be said about what happens after death, And this is still being said about consciousness and what goes on in the brain. For example just google search yourself, Many scientists even today are still trying to explain consciousness and come to a definite answer of what it really is. A consciousness IS PART OF YOU, By default you exist even without the senses. We refer to people individually. Take a basketball game for example, Michael Jordan was using his senses while playing, And because of it, He played differently than the other players. He is the observer in his game. You are the observer in your life. Trees have a way of observing by soaking in the detail, Their pain receptors are different, But they still experience life, Just not to it's fullest potential. Do we exist? The real and current answer is "we don't know" Cause this topic has not been answered in science or just proven to be one of the two that either we exist, Or we don't. So my opponent is just attacking a straw man. I can say safely without bringing up sources that there are better reasons to believe we exist, Than not. Humans use their senses to experience reality. Take them away, That doesn't mean we stop existing. That just means we would then just be living without senses. Look at trees and plants for example, They're living organisms, But they don't use most of the senses we do, If all of them actually but yet, They're alive, Yet they're experiencing reality in a completely new way. You can't just make these narrow and defined definitions of a topic of this magnitude cause then you're just not playing by the rules sort of speak. This is a topic just like religion topics and life after death topics where the topic is broad. It's fun to entertain ones self, Or other people with these topics, I admit, You can bring up that life is just a game or simulation, Or that life don't exist, Or that we have souls, Or are living in some multi-parallel universe and experiencing mandala effects, But you have to play by the rules, And have to understand especially that all these topics are being questioned everyday by scientists, Philosophers, And your average Joe because there is no answer. I can say that I DO EXIST, I know I EXIST, And YOU EXIST. Again look at plants, And bacteria, And all these living organisms that don't have our senses, THEY EXIST. So while the argument sounds good and is sugar coated and not where the majority of people would side on, It falls flat. Humans are mostly made up of water, And of course oxygen which resonates to our existence, And most importantly, Scientists and researchers have came to a understanding and an agreement that humans are made up of "matter" and energy" and now there can be an argument that we're just energy but no matter, Or matter but no energy, But just one of the two provides a better answer and world view that given one or two of those things, We exist, And again, MORE PEOPLE on this planet would agree with this statement, And current answer than the argument that my opponent made, And in debates that's really what it's all about sort of speak cause most are just a numbers game on which side has the most people. Well, I'm with the majority when it comes the fact that we have matter, Or energy inside us which is a probability, But a more universally agreed on answer than the whole "no existence" answer. Even many atheist and well known ones that debate agree that they exist in some form, And would agree on the matter/energy statement. This matters because after death, The matter, And energy is spread. Even if you removed the whole matter/energy concept, We still exist in some form. I'd say we exist in the moment, But not the past. It's just selfish to say you don't exist at all when you look outside the box at the trees, The planets, The universe. Now it's accepted by practically everyone in the world that the universe came into existence and wasn't always there. Given that the universe came to be, Why can't we? Just because the answer to some of life's biggest questions isn't answered doesn't mean there is nothing. Look at air for example. Air is real and exist although we can't see it, But we can explain what it is. Besides, There is ways to experience reality, I mean virtual reality is becoming a thing, Camera recording is a thing, Who says you need your senses to experience reality? ONLY YOU. . https://www.

Com/dictionary/air A lot of these topics always lead to religious topics/debates and relate to religion SADLY, But I could be one of them crazy people and say "well, The bible says this" but I'll just say if god is real (which god can't be proven to exist, Or not exist) but if god does exist and is the creator of all, Then we definitely exist. However, I don't want this entertaining topic to be spoiled by religion, I'll just throw that out in the open just to remind everyone reading that our existence could definitely be confirmed if god is real or not. Also about Ren Descartes. . . . . . Descartes concludes that even if he is being deceived, He must "exist first" before he can be deceived. So, To think you are an illusion, To think you don't exist, In essence you must really began to exist before you can even possibly even think about not existing. . . . . . . . ""But surely I exist, If I am deceived. Let him deceive me all he can, He will never make it the case that I am nothing while I think that I am something. "A279;" - Ren Descartes
