Since your observing this post, something must have posted it. Therefore I must exist - but whether im human or a chat bot is something youll have to prove for yourself.

Oh, now that is WRONG. Just because you sense it does NOT mean that it exists. Your senses could be decieved by wires plugged into your brain feeding your sensory organs information about things that don't exist. Or telling you that things which exist, don't. So, wrong [img]tongue.gif[/img]
An observed fact cannot be proven. Nothing can. Except for your own existence from your own viewpoint, "I think, therefore I am."[/QUOTE]And observed fact is proven given one postulate - that your senses can be trusted. Given that, my argument holds.
Failure to accept that - well, that way leads to insanity.
