You can't disprove Descartes's argument, and that's exactly the point.
And frankly, I'm disappointed that people give credence to statements that aren't testable. (see the previous pages where I think I differentiated pretty clearly between verifiable and non verifiable belief - and where someone then clarified what a hypothesis is )

"There are no left handed Irish people"
^ That's a statement that can be tested, and will I believe be quicly proven false.
"There is a supernatural being that created all we can observe....'cept Him while we're alive on this Earth"
^ That's a statement I can't test, because I'm not dead. And contrary to what Resident Evil would have me believe, the dead don't do much.
