Hi Craig Weinberg
Obviously you don't want to have a rational discussion.

Hi Craig Weinberg
This get sillier the more realistically we examine your claim.
It would also make an interesting experiment to record with a videocam
set off with a trip wire that could be posted on Youtube.
How fast is the object of perception created in the brain?
There is no object created in the brain. Perception is an experience which is
accessed through the sensitivities of the brain to the body and the body to the
world.
How fast would the rock be created ?
The rock is not created, except geologically. You really have no idea what I'm
talking about.
Would it start being created at the point of contact, or all over ?
Not created - noticed in the experience of contact.
Would that be faster than the blind man's reaction time ?
What does faster have to do with anything. If you can see, then you detect the
rock at a distance from your body. If you can't see, then you detect the rock
as it contacts your body or a prosthetic extension of your body. Eyes extend
the sense of your brain into a public optical context.
Would there be a heat of solidification required ?
Would that heat or cool the surrounding area ?
You are way out in your own strawman version of my view. Would what require a
heat or solidification? Kicking a rock?
Would the creation of the rock show up on a videocam
recording the eventCould we hear that happen ? What would the creation of a
rock sound like ?
Rocks sound like rocks when you kick them. They show up on videocam without
being created - they are detected by the photosensitive CDC, but that is as far
as it goes. That photosensitivity is not shared by any organism which
interprets it though emotional or cognitive sensitivity.
How does the speed of creation of the rock compare with the blind man's
reaction time to contacting the rock ?
What would his perception look like to a blind man?
There is no rock 'created'. You are thinking of a caricature of idealism and
projecting it onto me, and I suspect that you always will. Not your fault, but
you aren't going to learn anything if you don't understand what I'm proposing.

Hi Craig Weinberg
That's quite a stretch. You really expect me to believe
that a rock in the path of a blind man walking would
be detected by him ? Of course he could detect it with his cane,
but what if he had none ?
Then he detects it when he trips over it. Having eyes allows us to extend the
range of our tripping and changes the quality of the experience as well.

But nothing would exist for a blind man,
since he can see nothing.
Blind people can hear and feel and think, smell and taste, touch. Everything
exists to the extent that it can be detected directly or indirectly.

Could a blind man stub his toe ?
Anyone can stub their toe.

What would an alien intelligence help explain the origin of the universe?
Wouldn't you just have to explain the origin of this alien intelligence?

Does anyone have an issue with thinking about God as an alien intelligence,
which created the Hibble Volume (aka Universe)? Michael Shermer sort of put
this concept together, perhaps in the hope of getting people to think, or
possibly, to tick-off Christian Fundamentalist? I have no problem with this
conceptualization. Is there a psycho-social, downside to this way of thinking?
Or, maybe I have just gone off the deep-end, and "Flying sphagetti monster"
here I come?
