I need arbitration

In a debate with roommate, he stated that the only things that exist are things that human beings know to exist. Because existence is a human label in his view. I don't think this is true, so I used a counter example.
Suppose a silent electric car is speeding towards a man who neither sees or hears it. Then suddenly everyone stops existing besides the man and the car. Does that car exist?
He augured that the car did not exist until it hit him and then started existing.

Light a candle or a torch.
Tell said roommate to stick its hand into the flame.
Ask about about real.

You both need a goddamn brain.

It's the correct usage you biscuit
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-12-03
I'm not talking about grammar and you've further proven my point about needing a brain.
Things "exists" regardless of human opinions.

Edd you fucking dofus.
That's what I was arguing for. Also where are you getting the quote from?

The car exists because it was created and manufactured by people.

No he argues that if we had total human extinction the car would stop existing, along with the laws of physics.

Tell your roommate to stop reading Berkeley.
1 throwawayforme9000 2018-12-03
Trust me he doesn't read Berkeley

Your roommate is essentially a solipsistic child who can't imagine a world that didn't depend on his existence. He projects this belief onto all of humanity but really it's about his own narcissism.
1 throwawayforme9000 2018-12-03
No he's a new atheist, his reason for not believing in god is that it's not currently provable.
1 Starship_Litterbox_C 2018-12-03
Right, that's what I said.
