Do we really exist? Is the world we're living in real?

A place for more serious off-topic discussion and debates.

Truth.

Also, you guys are quoting a post I made two years ago back when I was still a fundamentalist, and my views are fairly different now.

I'd probably define myself as a postmodern existentialist, with a strong belief in God and spiritual workings, but mostly content with knowing life is full of subjective and unsolvable mysteries.

Anyways, yeah, debates should always be approached with an open, critical mind, and both parties should be willing to admit that they may not know what the hell they're actually arguing for.

Everything that has a beginning has an end. But what is the beginning of the universe? How is it possible that we exist? How can the Universe leap into existence? There has to be a beginning… Are we just programs controlled by the Machines? Are we just living a dream world ? Are our emotions and feelings just stimulated by our brain? Do I exist?

I invite you all to reply both scientific and religious explanations….
Hey, nobody took your debate seriously but it's really interesting. I'm studying philosophy (a little bit, not my speciality -I study exact and natural sciences-) and there are a lot of thing to think about. I'll come back later, I have no time to discuss this right now, I'm leaving -I gotta go to the gym-
