"That was just supposed to be a joke and is, as I said, beside the point."

You didn't say any such thing.

"You should have asked if I came into existence, which is what you were really trying to ask, albeit in an imprecise way"

NO. I asked what I intended to ask. My point was that thought requires a material biochemical matrix. You denied it. You said that thoughts were not material. I asked you what you thought before you were in existence. And I pointed out the fact that I could influence or terminate your thoughts by material action, thus proving that my material actions existed in the same plane of cause and effect as your material thoughts. Seems clear enough to me...
