If as a materialist/atheist you only believe in what you can see, touch, hear,or use your other senses to perceive how can you believe you are thinking about thiese things? Since you thought has no ( or should I say thinking) has noability to be sensed how can you think about things?

The electroencephalogram does not show a thought. It merely shows that an electro chemical impulse has occured and where. So my question stands.

Hook your brain up to an EKG and tell me that thinking has no ability to be sensed.
EDIT: erm, not EKG, whatever the brain one is...

you might want to try and read "a course in miracles". it says, and i believe it, that we think this world into being, with Gog's help. if we are not careful, we will believe it is the only real thing, when it is actually more mirage than real. God is not something made up by our thoughts. Anything that can be destroyed is not real, if it cannot be destroyed it is real. Interesting conception. By the way, can I have a cup of love?
Blessed Be

Great argument! star for you.
The one I had before was thought up when I was small, and it was " if you don't believe in God cause you can't see Him or touch him, does that mean you don't believe in the wind either?"
I was 8 at the time, but it still works!

You're right.
Besides, souls can't be measured.
"It is not science that proves the existence of the soul, but it is our reason that finds in science the confirmation of the transcendent nature of consciousness to matter and its processes. It is our reason that analyses both the scientific theories and the observable phenomena (including consciousness), and understands that in physics, consciousness doesn't exist; in the laws of physics there are all natural phenomena (physical, chemical and biological) but there is no consciousness."

Hey, I have a thought (ok half a thought its late). What if our entire universe is really just an atom in the toenail of a great big giant.
