Names and faces to bikes

eeehhhh I don't think I agree with you about facts being the preserve of religious/supernatural thinkers.

eeehhhh In my philosophy class I was pretty much the only materialist student, the rest were still convinced that there was something like an immaterial soul, but they didn't have any reason for it. Just the "inkling" inside.

Here is my 'interpretation' (picking my words carefully now !)

These students were convinced of some kind of immaterial 'soul' (whatever that may be).

When someone is convinced, that is: when a notion is held with certainty, that it is indisputably the case, we label it as 'fact'.

The belief in an immaterial 'soul' is a religious/supernatural conceit.

Therefore: I think facts are the preserve of the inerrant religious/supernatural thinkers.

Hope that makes sense !?
