Good thing it's only that person's opinion.

Look at Occam's Razor, Hoyle's Fallacy, and Russell's Teapot if you want to guess where I stand on that person's statement

His arguments sound extremely logical, to the point of divine insight.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of evidence. It's a pity this didn't make it to the Bible (you know, Marty crashed the Delorean, so we're pretty much stuck here, unable to spread the good news).

The Delorean may have been obliterated by a freight train, but Doc Brown did put together another time machine.

Which we don't know where it is. And it's not as cool as the Delorean.

You forgot Seward's Folly.

The cat Schrödinger puts in the box is a system in itself, so you could say that already forces the atom causing the gas to release to get out of superposition.

And I love Occam's Razor.

The results of Schroedinger's experiment is always the same. Often the nurse at emergency is amazed by the amount of blood loss. The moral of the story is: Don't try it with a tiger.

Solomon, do you have actual evidence of the nonexistence of external entities, such as a god or gods? I bet you don't.
