You Do Not Exist

Your objective if you choose to accept is to reason that you exist. My objective if you choose to except is to reason that you do not exist.

Rules:

1. You are allowed 3 points for your evidence of existence. (I.E., I exist because A, B, and C) and you may not add more points, you must stick to the points you choose.

2. You may use quotes and citations however you may not chop up paragraphs. If you choose to use a citation you must use the entire paragraph so that people do not have to factcheck your interpretation. It makes it easier for judging. If for some reason the paragraph is too long or the context is not clear you must at least incorporate four sentences so it's not a guessing game.

Format:

R1P: Your Opening Argument
R2C: My Rebuttal
R2P: Your Defense and/or Rebuttal
R3C: My Rebuttal and Close
R3P: Your Rebuttal and Close

Yes, you get an extra round to lay the framework for your three points. This is intentional. This is for fun so don't get to frustrated if you take it on. :D

I believe I exist because

(A) I can touch/feel others and they can touch/feel me.
(B) I can think. If we did not exist we would not have complete thoughts or be able to function and do things like talking and eating.
(C) There is no real reasoning to believe we don't exist.

(A) Nothing more than tactile illusions (http://www.newscientist.com...). "You" believe you are being touched because you believe you exist and therefore as a pawn in the universe are granted the same falsehoods as all others including "touch" however you never actually touch anything (http://www.liveleak.com...) particularly because "You" are a collection of particles manipulated to produce a phenomena.

(B) You do not "Think" but instead react (http://io9.com...) which means in essence that your belief that you think and function is false as you are just a phenomena produced and reacting as a phenomena should; "You" exist only in the sense of being a collection of atoms playing out what a collection of atoms would play out if they were in "Your" circumstances no different than an ice cube melting from being near a high temperature. As such you do not have complete thoughts and your functionality is nothing more than the prolonged standard reaction of such a phenomenon as you.

(C) There is no reason to believe that a collection of atoms produces an "individual" versus a proposed standard for natural progression. Atoms exist. The Universe exists. All things contained of both exist. However the concept of a "Higher Brain" or "Sentience" do not exist, "You" do not exist, "You" are the natural progression of atoms in a deterministic universe; what "You" consider life is nothing more than just another standard phenomenon and all that "You" do is a deductive standard for the universe's progression.

*Poof!*

I was right! Come on guys, I was right!
