For centuries, scientists regarded Berkeley's argument as a philosophical sideshow
And will continue to do so for centuries to come. Its like saying that the moon doesn't exist unless a man has his feet on it.

When someone watches a subatomic particle or a bit of light pass through the slits, the particle behaves like a bullet, passing through one hole or the other. But if no one observes the particle, it exhibits the behavior of a wave that can inhabit all possibilities -- including somehow passing through both holes at the same time. I wouldn't trust any particle that does things in private that it wouldn't do in public!

Just another way to try & say “man is god”. Goes back to Gen 3:5.

I would guess biocentrism, like many theories concocted by man, will bring more questions than answers.
And biocentrism would not be the first erroneous theory attempting to establish the logically impossible idea that creation is also creator.

In a nutshell, the argument posits existence depends upon the conscious perception. The argument is a bit pedantic, given the existence of God, His omniscience and He is the Creator.

Gadfry, but it’s a hoot watching scientists discover philosophy and theology in middle age.
Since they never had Intro to Philosophy, they always end up recreating some ancient error.

And how many contemporary philosophers bother to take any science?
One do wonder.

So, it's as I've always suspected.
Nothing exists until I open my eyes in the morning.

The universe is a virtual reality, and our bodies are avatars controlled by our minds in our unconcious celestial bodies, interfaced via the brain.
When we die, we awake in Heaven back in our real bodies, to face God, who will judge us as to whether we chose to follow Him; or chose to reject Him, and work for The Adversary, Satan.
That is why it is written in Ecclesiastes, that when we die our soul returns instantly to He who made it.
He set the whole thing up as a test, after a third of us followed Satan in his original rebellion.
Those who ‘pass’ the test, recieve eternal life, but the others....
Other explanations’ milage will vary.

See? That’s not even the right question.
The question is, “How many contemporary philosophers take it upon themselves to promulgate scientific propositions?”
And why is the discussion limited to contemporary philosophers? There are none of note.
Even if no philosopher had ever learned even a scintilla of science, that would not fit scientists to leap into philosophy in middle age, with no study of what had gone before.
