Materialism is Debunked

Lawrence Anthony, a conservationist, had a close freindship with a herd of elephant at his game reserve in Africa. He had rescued and rehabilitated them and over time, they developed a trust.

Lawrence Anthony died in 2012. Two days after the elephant herd led by the matriarch traveled 12 miles to his home. They stayed there for two days, mourning as they do their dead.

The elephants had no material way of knowing about Lawrence's passing. There were no phone call, no messages, and no visible signs for them.

After this, the elephants returned again exactly one year later.

Elephants have an acute sense of smell that is twice as sensitive as a blood hound. It’s an ability that allows the elephants to avoid enemies and find food and water over long distances, far more than 12 miles.

You are using the appeal to incredulity which is a logical fallacy. When you claimed the elephants did not get a phone call or a text message, did you believe that boosted the credibility of your baseless assertion (reality debunked or whatever) or hurt it?

How do you know that smell is the reason elephants can find water?
