That's right, existence begets essence, not the other way around, as Theists claim but have no REAL WORLD concrete proof like music!And it still proceeded from the material world.No you started this thread because your BS got thoroughly exposed by Existentialism.The question came up in another discussion and I was surprised to discover their belief. It deserved its own thread because their response seemed inconsistent with their belief that there isn’t anything which is incorporeal which does not come from material beings.
It was almost as if they believed there was some life force at work which by my accounting is inconsistent with the atheist world view that nothing exists outside of the material world.
It was proven to you that, for example, the composer has to physically exist FIRST before a composition that remains after the composer's physical existence ends still spiritually moves the listener long after! There is nothing inconsistent in the Atheist's world view with Existentialism. You as a Theist are just not honest enough to admit it, and as a Theist you never will be.
Besides, under the atheism worldview being moved by music is just a chemical reaction in the brain. There is no higher meaning to anything.
If you think I am wrong, give one REAL WORLD example where a provable nonmaterial anything created something physical.
