I've never read any Deepak Chopra. I read a lot of Anton Zielinger and Alain Aspect though. Anyway this is a logical fallacy as follows:

A has provided evidence for position X
Deepak Chopra states X is correct
Deepak Chopra is widely regarded as a snake oil salesman
Therefore, A's evidence is false.


This form is fallacious as it does not actually refute the evidence given by A, it merely notes that Deepak Chopra, who is a discredited figure, agrees with position X. This form is especially unsound when there is no indication that the arguer is aware of the evidence given by A.

Here's a better idea of what Casper's Philosophy Teacher is like:

THANK YOU for tipping your hand. We refer to this on here as woo. You are nothing but a bombastic overblown halfwit mystic that has NOTHING, not anything even close to evidence, proof, or even a cogent discussion of what you believe.

You can't prove the existence of god because all you have is a load of metaphysical nonsense. No one in 6,000 years has proven the existence of god and you won't. You haven't brought anything close to new material or done anything other than reinterpret theoretical conlcusions that by themselves prove nothing.

No one has yet produced anything that is insurmountable evidence of god. As I pointed out twice previously, the mere fact that particle physicists, a few of them, can create a model of the universe that doesn't require a god, necessitates the need by you to first disprove their models and second provide evidence that is irrefutable and beyond reproach.  You cannot and have not done either.

You remind me of the Walt disney version of the caterpillar sitting on the toadstool smoking his hookah, all oblivious to world artound, but nonetheless sure of his universe. Go roll yourself a fat one, wingnut. You've accomplished nothing here.

You have a sharp mind for logic, Casper. This Tom Campbell is beneath you.

You might just get banned after all, which is unfortunate, because you are the friendliest ghost I know.

...but yet he is fails to apply this logic when testing any of his own claims.  Well, in fact, he doesn't test his claims at all, he just pronounces them with Papal like authority, and that's the end of it.  LOL

I appreciate casaprov's input, I believe there is at least a grain of truth on any shore

I don't. His whole argument can be summarized as:

"There is no way to be sure anyone else exists but me, therefore god."

I don't see that casaprov contributes anything worthwhile to discussion.  If a person continually spouts ideas that randomly spill out of his ass, he will eventually say something that may have a grain of truth (or not), but it's quite by accident.  And when a person goes to extremes to avoid thinking logically, it's not worth my time to consider each grain of thought for some modicum of truth.  I prefer to associate with people who consistently demonstrate the ability to reason.

Only if you stop observing him.
