60. Sad that you think you know so much
Yes, I've hear of Occam's Razor. Did it ever occur to you that people may differ on what fits in with the principles of Occam's Razor?

I've worked as a scientist for the past 30+ years, published about 30 scientific research papers in peer reviewed medical and public health journals, plus two books. So I do not hold principles of empiricism in contempt.

To me, it seems highly implausable that non-physical entities (like feelings and thoughts) can be produced from purely physical entities. That's Ocam's Razor in action.

But you apparently don't have enough imagination to fathom that non-physical entities exist. That's fine. You're welcome to your opinion. But when you act so certain that you know everything you really come across as obnoxious.
