The only reason a photon, electron a mountain and a terrain exists is
because God is conscious of it. Consciousness precedes everything even
matter.

Thank you for that unsupported conjecture. We now return you

You're supposed to kick a rock and say "I refute it thus!"

Can I throw him off a cliff instead? Huh? Pretty please,
with a side of Guinness?

Not in the philosophical tradition, my lad. At least, not until the past
twenty years. Defenstration is almost always a fallacy.

Well, I could be picky and point out that defenestration
applies only to windows...but since I can't find an
equivalent single word involving cliffs I'll give you that
one.

But even Timur the Lame was a philosopher of sorts:

"Kill everyone in the city.
Pile the skulls here in front of the gates.
Ooooooo; pretty!
Next!"
