Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
God's existence does not have any bearing on dualism!.

Dualism says that there are two different kinds of substances: physical and non-physical!. If god exists then all we can says is that whatever substance he is made of exists!. If he doesn't then we can't say anything about the substance he would be made of!.

Take a physical example: if unicorns exist, they're probably physical beings!. That they don't exist says nothing about the existence of other physical things!.

Long and short: if god doesn't exist we can still be dualists!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

what is this 'God' you are going on about- what is the definition of this thing that may or may not exist!. there are 1000's of deities and hundred so of things you could be meaning by using the word "God" and you aren't helping clear up the confusion using a word that means so many things without qualification at least we know what dualism is for the point of reference alas semantically we cant' get to that bit!.

this question is ultimatlely as meanaingless as "does bob like cheese!?"

I'm getign sick of peolpe thinking we know exactly what they mean by the word "God" i don;t have a subjective truth about god so which objective definition shall i ascribe to "God" in this question!? - a random one!? the stupidest one !? - you have to define what it is you wish us to consider dualism in the light of!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. God is just an imaginary being!. Dualism exist with or without God!.

If your hypothesis is right, dualism could exist as a fantasy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
