The Proof of Mind and Body Distinction

The Proof of Mind and Body Distinction

Premise 1: If I can clearly and distinctly perceive something, then it is possible for God to create it.

Premise 2: If God creates something to be independent of another, they are distinct from each other.

Premise 3: I clearly and distinctly understand my existence as a thinking thing, not requiring the existence of a body.

Conclusion 1: Therefore, God can create a thinking thing independently of a body. (From Premise 1 and 2)
