@prismseeker Agnosticism just means that you claim you don't know whether the knowledge of god is possible or knowable. It isn't interchangeable with being a theist or an atheist. You are most likely an agnostic atheist - you claim to not know whether god exists, but you don't BELIEVE in any particular god (e.g you reject the claim). Frankly the whole issue to me doesn't look as though it should have anything to do with a god.
Excellent and succinct argument. Have you listened to lectures by philosopher Alan Watts on the subject of consciousness and reality? It seems to me that quantum theory implies that reality can exist only because it is known by an observer. Buddhism says the material world has no inherent substance, that all substance is a quality of the mind.

If a tree falls in the middle of the woods, and nobody is around to hear it... ?

As an observer, would the cat have experienced both situations simultaneously?
