If everything could be expalined then spirits, us as souls and mind then wouldn't really exist as free will would we. It would all be based on countless reactions, decisions made only based on an opposite equal type of reaction. All beings consciences would be like trillions of puzzle pieces fitting in based on the rules of eternity.[/b]
I dont agree. Even if everything we do is based on predetermined physical events, we still have to actually do them, and since noone will ever be able to forecast exactly what is going to happen, it makes no difference to us. Those reactions dont just decide what we do, they are what we do and we are them.

the six year old would say that the tree did fall over.

whether or not it makes a sound depends on your definition of a sound. if its your own perception then it doesnt exist. if its any living thing's perception then it may exist. if its an air pressure wave then it does exist. (obviously, the six year old would not say that)

i guess the tree actaully falling over also depends on your definition of "a tree falling over". - whether its the actual event, or your own perception of the event.

things never exist in exactly the way we think they do, but we can guess closely enough to get by... saying that, we only live for a hundred years or so, so we dont make a great job of it.

but if you believe that things only exist in perception, and dont 'really' exist - then why are you here? why talk to a bunch of people that dont exist? I dont think anyone truely believes that.
