No. If it exists, then it is possible for it to exist.

It is possible for ideas of impossible things to exist, because our minds are capable of imagining just about anything. While the ideas of impossible things may logically exist, the things themselves do not.

Msram, it is possible to make and show a movie of impossible things using special effects. Therefore, your proof (as stated) is invalid.

good one, T. Smile and i agree with your reasoning, although i suspect msram used the word "show" in the sense of demonstrate logically.

How about the possibility of me finding a stone too large for me to lift, and then lifting it?

Terry,

The classic philosophical problem (Hume, Kant etc) is that since all "things" are perceived indirectly via "sense data" how can we distinguish between "things" and "ideas of things"? (Things require a Thinger) The problem is exacerbated at the atomic level when "readings" are utilized as evidence of "things". Nobody (as far as I know) has seen a "quark" but the belief is "they exist".

The implication is that "the idea of a thing "must exist beforethe seeking of "physical evidence". But whether such evidence is deemed necessary or sufficient for proposed "existence" is a matter of negotiation

i guess you're not a deity, brandon, or you'd make a stone too heavy to lift instead of finding one.
