These are the arguments that I feel Cartesian Dualism makes:

1. All things I clearly and distinctly understand can be made by God to be exactly as I understand them.
2. If I can clearly and distinctly understand and object A existing separately from an object B, then God can make A exist separately from B
3. If God can make A exist separately from B, then A and B really are distinct.
4. I can clearly and distinctly understand my mind existing separately from my body.
5. God can make my mind exist separately from my body.
C: My body and my mind really are distinct.

From a Nihilistic perspective, refute each of the following to be incorrect.
