One might argue that it still would be because of my sense of touch.
OK, take that away too.
Color, depth, distance, solidness, temperture are only there because
I have the senses to consciously experience them. Take the senses away
and take memory away.
Without these the world is a mass of random electromagnetic
vibrations, and maybe not even that.
Consciousness not only creates colors, smells, tastes, and memories----
it creates everything. There is no universe without conscious beings.
People who doubt this are like people who believe in "uncorporeal
beings"
or "the undead dead."----they don't exist except in words


Tell that to the primitive life forms on the Earth 3.75 billion
years ago.
