Well it ought to I would think. After all you are interacting with him, so if he doesn't exist who are you exchanging posts with then?

Well there's your proof of his existence right there. A cell phone is a communications device and you can't communicate with things that don't exist.

I've witnessed several people communicating with things that don't exist. How can you prove they aren't really communicating?

Is there a religion where the cellphone and/or the smartphone is worshiped ?
The way people is interacting with their phones, it looks like it does

Many people are far too busy and engrossed in keeping track of things all the time (certainly nothing negative about it) and "explicitly go all in" on doing phone business, but of course it's up to everyone. Personally, when nature experiences and a little more other things, then I happily turn off the phone.

Interesting video

This video does not change my mind one bit. Videos can be artifically created (Hollywood does it all the time), and people can be paid or blackmailed to or intimidated to pretend to somebody in the knowledge. They even can truly believe that what they say is true, and the can describe something they cannot explain as best as they can.

None of this is evidence for or against anything.

Methodologically, all this doe snot een rate as a theory, because a theory must meet certain criteria to eb acutally qualfied as beign labelled a "theory". For exmaple, you must be able to test it. If a test is not possible, it is no theory but a hypothesis - or speculation.

I stick to it: that the phenomneneon of an existing and fed ubnterest in these thignsd exist, annot be denied, it is real. But what the phenomenon in our inerpretations si showing us - that is something totally different.

A Fata Morgana is real, it is a oyhsical ohenomenbeon of lightbeams beign reflected on distant heat layers of air. It is a real phenomenon. But what the phenomenon is apparently showing us, is not real, but unreal, is not what it looks like. Its not a real well. Its not a real city. Its not a real forest in the desert.

Its an insult to our intellect but - we do not know anything. On this.

So my advice: 1. be maximum open and 2. be maximum sceptical. You see something soembody shows you, you hear words somebody says, you read texts somebody has written. For the time being, I leave it to just these three facts. More I do not know about it.
