There is no such assertion being made by me. Human examples merely avoid
the extra step of having to describe how one knows the experience of another
species.
I think I read "Ghost in the Machine" many, many years ago.
A lot of the stuff that comes up in this debate is well settled in my view,
it is the opposition that wants to keep looking at it as if the same old
arguments have somehow improved over time. I'd be open to new data and a
re-examination of the "reality" model we have all agreed to based on that --
but no new data about the "existence of god" has been discovered. Make of
it what you will. I know what I make of it.
