    To him God wasn't another substance...He would probably have said God is another mind, just a supreme one.

    Descartes was a dualist because he reasoned that the Mind was not entirely physical whereas the rest of the body is physical.

    There was no way to respond to you on my question but just for you to know, I've been in band since 5th grade. I just didn't want to be in band for 9th grade. Plus, the instrument I play is a flute thank you very much sir :). So I guess I don't have to learn how to play flute since I already know how to play it well.
