      From: a_rod_777@yahoo.com              Proof?       "It is fair to ask how we can know what is the true nature of reality.       Immaterialism will win the metaphysical contest largely be default. The       incoherence of materialism and dualism will make those views relatively       unacceptable. There is a coherence to        materialism, but it is a coherence that is abstract and theoretical that can       hardly be sustained outside the lecture hall. Its conceptual rigidity make is       vulnerable to even the slightest incursions of what may be wild or weird in       the world.              The original novelty and shock value of materialism has long since worn off.       Our minds now easily wander past its very narrow confines. Ironically it is       the psychological and even spiritual allures of virtual reality and cyberspace       that can be seen as        the last hurrah of materialism. Technology has sewn the seeds of its own       transcendence, just as it was destined to do.              It is not the abstract proofs which will carry the day.                             At the end of the day, it is our spirits that will lead us to our next       challenges, guide us to our next high frontiers.
