wrong you are not aware of consciousness but rather due to consciousness you are aware . . .
there is a reason its called the "visible light spectrum" (how silly of humans to decide that tools that they developed to see light can see light in all its variations) . . . and how does one "measure" light exactly?dark is the absence of light . . . how do you measure that?
prove it (in other words thats an opinion not a proven fact)
True darkness means nullification of photon, which causes Both Electrostatic and magnetism to fail, which all electronic will fail for obvious reasons, and gravity will collapse everything until it either gets repelled by weak interaction or generate a singularity. But you can measure the intensity of various light, which if it goes too low for the eyes to see, you can call that darkness.

So, your argument is based on the amount of light that can be measured?
no its based on the fact that even if you can not see/hear/feel/smell/taste (measure) something does not mean that it does not exist it only means you cant measure it properly . . . light was simply an example of something we can all agree exist and can potentially be undetectable

I think it's that just because you cannot observe them does not proof their non-existence.

Given we can prove light exists, the argument is not really relevant. You'd be a lot better off explaining god as something you can't see but know in your heart exists. (For the record I don't believe in God either) Even then, stories, and nothing more.

I don't believe because they lie too much!

/runs
Actually, I'm into spiritism, even not seeing anything yet
I think it's actually some other sense that we interpret as vision, as it is most used sense for many, and the best metaphor to be construct upon.

These two things are not mutually exclusive. I don't think I've ever known a person to not be aware of their own consciousness.
there is a reason its called the "visible light spectrum" (how silly of humans to decide that tools that they developed to see light can see light in all its variations) . . . and how does one "measure" light exactly?
In Lumens, typically, or number/area density of photons per second permeating a space. Geiger counters, for example, measure the intensity of electromagnetic rasiation using a phenomenon known as the photoelectric effect, wherein surface-level atoms of certain metals ionize when exposed to light of a certain frequency. Measuring light is not rocket science, and neither is it mystical or metaphysical. It's very easily quantified.
dark is the absence of light . . . how do you measure that?
Haha, I mean, in how many photons there aren't?
Like I said, there's nothing mystical about light, it's just any form of electromagnetic radiation, which is just an electric and magnetic field, orthogonal to each other, oscillating in a pattern through space. You can also think of it as little packets of quantized energy, or "photons". You talk as if light is some mystical thing, immeasurable and undefinable, but it is very very much neither of those things.

i would have chosen god if i wanted to prove you right . . . god (or religion in general) is a creation of man to explain our otherwise meaningless existence (if science was always as developed as it is now we would have never experienced religion)

why when trying to prove somethings true would i compare it to something widely believed to be false:rolleyes:

I've seen questionable things.
But I highly doubt paranormal things like that exist.

The reason you doubt because you never saw one. If you saw one then you would believe paranormal things like that exist. That's normal not to believe or doubt about it due that you never seen anything like that. Do I believe ghosts ? No.. Do I believe spirit ? Ghost and spirit are two difference things. Yes, however I never saw one and I rather not so I still believe spirit exists.
