There is not all this controversy without reason as some may think. Empirical science uses evidence from the five senses to gather information from the outside world. It looks at man from the outside. We also have an inner sense about life, the experiencing of life within ourselves. It is felt that we cannot look at ourselves objectively, but in fact we can get back from what is going on in our body and mind, view it objectively, get information that way and that is a definition of the diference between man and animal. Calling all such knowledge as subjective and of no value is just a big mistake. The number of different sciences is mind boggling and it actually studies just about everything, so the definition of what it studies keeps growing. If we assume the categories and objects of science are fixed at what they are or that we even begin to know all the laws of the universe is naive at best. New forces and laws are constantly being found and every phenomena seems to have laws not magic. Magic is what we don't know yet. Imagination is the only way we can get outside 'reality' to see where it can be added to or taken away from. We can hardly go to the store without imagination and fantasy is just reality that hasn't been done yet, if we don't percieve a current use for it, whether there is one or not. Excluding anything at the information gathering stage of an inquiry is not scientific at all, just the illusion of reason, rationalizing what we want to believe rather than looking at all the information. Of course the conscious mind can only handle so much information and boggles at more, but the subconscious deals in pictures and doesn't seem bothered by any degree of complexity and sees a pattern. It we examine, ask questions and test answers the intuition gives us, it's rather amazing what it can do. That's not popular knowledge. Have you notice that calling someone stupid is projection. Testing shows that those who consider themselves smart are not and vice versa. It is more the dumb from one field accussing someone of being dumb from another. They're both right and doesn't reflect on the fields of study at all. It's only popular today, I think, to trash someone else, but it's one abuser against another not wisdom, science, logic, reasoning or particularly mature and sane. Does the world seem so sane to you that you want to go along with such 'reasonings'? Our current idea of reality, even, is limited. Another reality is virtually unlimited, it doesn't stop at every corner and "say I can't" and "it isn't". It's just cynicism and self fulfilling. It don't expect anyone to believe that. The left brain can't see the right brain because it limits itself, but the right brain can see the left brain and it sees such blind, narrow mindeness that it's sad, but what can you do. People who say they are clear are hardly clear. The conscious mind can't make things clear, only an illusion of it, as it can't handle complexity. That's why it wants things to be clear, a dream. The only way to understand an adult, for instance, is to become one. Can a three year old understand what is going on with an adult? If you want more clarity, study Emotional Intelligence, intuition, use only positive and scientific descriptive words, rather than emotional, judgmental ones and you will be able to really see much better and the problem won't seem so great. The Muslims wonder why we don't see clearly, and the Atheists, Christians wonder why neither one of them sees clearly. Let me assure you that the real situation is, as I guess a professor says in the youtube video below, that, "The whole world is totally and completely out of it's mind, each and every one of us." See, we are evolving onto a higher level and the whole world will rise with the rising water as minds can evolve with a change of consciousness and we are getting peeks into that consciousness, the mind shift predicted for so long. Some have always had flashes of insight. From that new consciousness we may be able to see clearly when we get above the smoke and mirrors. We all see and have some part of the truth and some of the lie. That's just the way it is so we all will and do need each other. The name callers will get to have the greatest enlightenment, they have the furthest to go and are in the most pain. We can only try to help them. I namd calling rational or childish? I see that you see some things clearly, but we all do. The ones calling names have something special too, a great deal of empathy for the suffering in the world.

Reality is a huge responsibility. And it never ends, because we are constantly discovering more about it. It is much easier for the immature to accept magic, like children, than to deal with the truth. And that seems innocent enough till they get taken advantage of by con artists and other preachers, who are able to manipulate them as easily as children.

For hundreds of years, human beings have suggested that their god grew to become into in the back of what they did not understand -- life, lightning, stars, earthquakes, the beginning of life, the international or the universe, and so on. Positing a god to supposedly answer a query solves not something. It merely stops you from asking extra questions. there is not any sturdy information for God/Yahweh, Jesus, Allah, Zeus, Thor, or any of the hundreds of different gods that folk have worshiped. If any of the greatest gods existed, there could be sturdy information. provided that no such information exists, those gods do not exist. there is likewise huge information that they are all merely myths, created to help soothe our concern of demise, and perpetuated by faith to subjugate the underclass into obedience. technological know-how has shown that there is not any want for gods to describe the classic motives for a god -- beginning of the universe, beginning of life, beginning of species, beginning of people, beginning of morality. technological know-how additionally exhibits us the psychological motives that folk have confidence in god(s).
