they also argued that direct observation is the only certain way to know anything, and thus the existence of supernatural forces and realities cannot be established and must be rejected.
And I agree, it's your "opinion" but once you make that "opinion" public, it can be analyzed and questioned. That who the world works. Their is only one way to keep people from questioning your "opinion". The problem is the lack of originality, you just took your old set of believes, change a few names ant keep it completely intact.

"Designs, neither you nor anyone else has addressed the “entangled particles” experiment I presented. If anyone is really interested in consciousness, they should at least study the test before they decide to dismiss the results.
It seems pretty conclusive." - Perry
No, it's not conclusive, and I had addressed your concerns since the beginning. I will give it one more try to see if I understand the discussion.
Lanza’s theory of biocentrism has seven principles:
1) What we perceive as reality is a process that involves our consciousness. An “external” reality, if it existed, would by definition have to exist in space. But this is meaningless, because space and time are not absolute realities but rather tools of the human and animal mind.
2) Our external and internal perceptions are inextricably intertwined. They are different sides of the same coin and cannot be divorced from one another.
3) The behavior of subatomic particles, indeed all particles and objects, is inextricably linked to the presence of an observer. Without the presence of a conscious observer, they at best exist in an undetermined state of probability waves.
4) Without consciousness, “matter” dwells in an undetermined state of probability. Any universe that could have preceded consciousness only existed in a probability state.
5) The structure of the universe is explainable only through biocentrism. The universe is fine-tuned for life, which makes perfect sense as life creates the universe, not the other way around. The “universe” is simply the complete spatio-temporal logic of the self.
6) Time does not have a real existence outside of animal-sense perception. It is the process by which we perceive changes in the universe.
7) Space, like time, is not an object or a thing. Space is another form of our animal understanding and does not have an independent reality. We carry space and time around with us like turtles with shells. Thus, there is no absolute self-existing matrix in which physical events occur independent of life.
This is not even science. In astronomy, the geocentric model (also known as geocentrism, or the Ptolemaic system), is the superseded theory that the Earth is the center of the universe, and that all other objects orbit around it.
Heliocentrism, or heliocentricism, is the astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around a stationary Sun at the center of the universe. Historically, heliocentrism was opposed to geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the center. The Vatican files suggest that Galileo was forbidden to teach heliocentrism in any way whatsoever, but whether this ban was known to Galileo is a matter of dispute.
In philosophy, idealism is the family of views which assert that reality, or reality as we can know it, is fundamentally mental, mentally constructed, or otherwise immaterial. Epistemologically, idealism manifests as a skepticism about the possibility of knowing any mind-independent thing. As an ontological doctrine, idealism goes further, asserting that all entities are composed of mind or spirit. Idealism thus rejects physicalist and dualist theories that fail to ascribe priority to the mind. Monistic idealism holds that consciousness, not matter, is the ground of all being. It is monist because it holds that there is only one type of thing in the universe and idealist because it holds that one thing to be consciousness.
Biocentrism is a monistic idealistic theory.
Have a read, let me know what you think.

if i was god how would i have created man so he wouldn't sin..
diarrhea!!.
i may lose some of you here, but stick with me.. ok, god gave us a conscious but sometimes our conscious can.
I can't even start to imagine the existence of a god but, if I was a god, I would destroy myself.
But let's talk about your sin "deterrent system" and I going to answer with one word, Mexican Food. (Ok that's two words)
I love Mexican Food but, their is a problem, it's hot when you are eating it and it's hot when your body dispose of it. Yet, their is NOTHING on this planet that would make me stop from getting Mexican Food.
What I am trying to say is that we are humans. What we need to do is educate our selfs and our kids, teach them manners, character, proper behavior. How to act toward others. Morality is doing what is right no matter what you are told to do.

Really, will you tell me your agenda? Why you always focus in the same demographics? (JW's)
You can find a "white" "jesus" painting in the Room of The Segnatura at the Vatican. The thing is Yeshua, if he ever existed should have looked a lot more Middle Eastern seeing as he was... well... Middle Eastern.
Leonardo and Michelangelo painted jesus "white" during the Renaissance and that became the "definitive" versions of his image, and they were just portraying him as a Italian man, like everyone else in their paintings.
European paintings from the Medieval ages did the same whitewashing, most likely because, in the age of the Crusades, the Church was better off not reminding people they were praying to a little, brown Jew.
This racial artistic license isn't exclusive to white people, either, Jesus has been portrayed as Black, Hispanic and Asian, depending on who painted the picture.
