Your rock-throwing examples seem to have to do with causal reasoning, which is not deductive. (You could claim that "if I do x, then y results" is a necessary truth, but it is difficult to find x's and y's such that your statement always comes out true.) So it seems that you and Ross are talking about different things. <br /><br />RCRCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739577743469101034.post-64148568247296492772016-06-18T10:54:18.208-07:002016-06-18T10:54:18.208-07:00Claiming that something is immaterial immediately ...Claiming that something is immaterial immediately puts you outside the realms of the empirical, thus any demand for physical proof can be met with the answer that the immaterial is outside the bounds of the knowable.
