"I think, therfore I am" is a quote which sums up a section of a phylosophical/ theological thesis by Rene Descartes a revolutionary 17th century philosopher.

He was attempting to prove that God existed, more importantly the something existed. The first few chapters are a discourse on why we can not trust our senses, saying : "I experience therfore I am" is not a satisfactory logical statment, it can easaly be countered by, "are you reallly expiriencing"

The famous quote is more of a statment of desparation, everything else which had been said in his "Meditations" (what his little paper is called), everything else he could find a way to doubt. The quote is a starting point on which he built upon, not the conclusion.

He went on to say for him to think, he exists and to exist, there must be a world out there and for there to be a world there must be a God.

There is a lot of logical reasoning to make those connections. If the crowd wishes to move on to a more interesting subject, how about:

What is reality?
Are there many realites which just coincide to form life?
Or is there just one, in which there are infinite perceptions of?
