How can i prove the existence of sun to a blindman (blind from birth). Phrophets had a problem like that.?

Question

Thats why they asked us to "have faith" or "seek and you will find" etc. Most athiest don't know this.
They are rebelling in the dark.

Answer 1

Sun has two aspects light and heat.A blind person may not experience light of the Sun but he can very well feel the heat of Sun. Like wise, Prophets try to draw the attention of the people towards Self or Atman . And Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Geeta says that He is the only Atman in all the different bodies.

Answer 2

You stand him in the sun and then move him into the shade. No matter how blind he is he will still feel the heat.

Understand that many of the People who do not believe the things that are talked about by organized religion, have come to the conclusions that they have after years of study, prayer and countless hours of contemplation about these things. They are not confused, being mislead or any of the things that are being said about them by the people who promote these ideas.

A great number of them are some of the most intelligent people you will ever meet. They are very spiritual and often have an amazing and unshakeable faith in God. A far greater faith I might add than those who teach nonsense about a judgmental God who would allow punishment. These people often care so much about God and their faith that they have become self taught religious scholars, who can speak at great length about the parallel teachings of the world’s religions. These people do not need to be saved; they need to be listened to.

They will usually tell you a very different story from the one organized religion tells us. They speak of an unconditionally loving God that they have finally found by their ceaseless attempts to find the truth. A god that loves each and every one of us exactly the way that we are. A God that has never had a single thought of any hint of imperfection on our part. A God that has no silly thoughts of Judgment or punishment or revenge disguised as justice.

These ideas may not seem to sound like the truth to you, but this is for a very good reason. If you have been told a lie about something your whole life, when you hear the truth it can be difficult to understand because it sounds so unlike the lie you have grown accustom to.

I was raised catholic. I attended their mass 6 days a week for 9 years. Studied their religious teachings for yet another hour each day. On my own I have studied Buddhist teaching rather extensively. I also studied Confucian thought, Zen wisdom, The Bhagavad gita and other Vedic texts. The bible and the many different Gnostic texts that never made it into the bible. The Dead Sea scrolls and The Nag Hammadi works. I have actually probably forgotten more than I can remember. I’m not trying to impress you, with all of this. Just trying to make the point that I take this very seriously. After nearly 60 years of careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that most of what organized religion teaches about God, creation, and the after life is simple nonsense. It is as though religion has set its self up as the worldly authority of something that it knows almost nothing about, God, spirituality, and the afterlife.

The only way these false ideas of A judgmental God have survived this long is because of the practice of indoctrinating young children with these false Ideas when they are to young to consider the validity of these ideas from a basis of logic. These children are then given no choice in the matter, it is essentially believe this or burn in hell.

Not really much of an option is it. If these teachings were actually true would they need to be guarded so carefully with threats of hellfire and eternal damnation? Not likely.

Okay, so you take the blind man outside in the heat of the day and tell him to focus on where the heat is on his body. If he stands long enough, say from dawn until after dark, he will feel the sun start to warm him from the east and slowly, throughout the day, he will feel the warmth travel across his body, until it sets. Now, he could not see it, but he has some strong evidence for the suns existence. As far as your analogy towards atheists, it is absurd. You are correlating a phyically limitating disability to a consious decision of belief. As well, the sun has evidence that every person, believer or non-believer can realize, and that evidence/proof can be tested and proven over and over and over. However, god, he is not so provable. So, atheist are not rebelling in the dark, they are only seeing the sun for the star it truly is.

Answer 4

You had a good question and blew it. There is no relationship between a blind person and an atheist. A blind person can sense the sun because of the heat it generates. What you need to prove the existence of is light. An atheist has decided that his/er universe can exist quite nicely without a god that requires sacrifice of person and property to some individual who claims s/he had been appointed by god to save the lost. Light is real, this other stuff is power grab.

Answer 5

Being blind does not mean you are stupid or incapable of reason! The fact that you cannot "see" something does not preclude you from logically deducing it is really there! You yourself cannot hear the sun, does that mean you have to "take it on faith" that it makes noise? Of course not. You aren't stupid. You realize that it is a roiling ball of nuclear activity that must certainly disturb the tenuous outer gas layers causing all manner of 'waves' in those gases which must equate to 'sound', since sound is just fluctuations in the relative densities of the medium through which the waves are passing.

How can I prove the existence of gravity to you? You can't see it! LOL...

What are "Phrophets", though? I am not familiar with them...

Answer 6

You could prove that, without the sun, there would be no photosynthesis (and your blind man would not be able to smell plants) or there would be no warmth (which your blind man could feel on his skin).

Atheists are not "rebelling in the dark" (whatever that is supposed to mean). They are responding to the fact that there is no proof for the existence of any supernatural deity.

Answer 7

The sun is a wonderful thing in which life as we know it revolves around. most see it only on the outside of their body, yet there is a second son that gives light and warmth inside, My thoughts are like seeds waiting to be touched with such warmth to grow. yes, they are in darkness, and they are seed. seed is made to search for that which will give it life to grow, they are made that way. unique to discover and to realize their need.

Answer 8

yep. a smart philosophical question screwed and cheapened by pedestrian moralizing and dubious judgment about atheists!
take the blind man out at midday when the sun is pretty hot and bright and tell them to look at the sun. they'll definitely bare their teeth . . . . laughing with it.

Answer 9

Put him in the sun at noon with no shirt on and mention uV rays,that should give him a good idea.

Answer 10

Have you considered that you might be the blind one?
