The world we perceive is limited to our senses, sight, hearing, touch, taste. But a bat's perception includes radar (playtypus' too BTW) and in many bats its radar perception out-stripes its sight and the nighttime world it perceives is quite different from ours. If discrete perception is all that's necessary to create a sub-reality than evolution has created many, many different sub-realities.

Bats and paltypi are not the only animals which use echo location. This boy uses it too.





Now I disagree with your claim that discrete perception creates a sub realities. That being said, even if your claim is true, discrete perception requires the existence of intelligence.

I find the notion of God existing outside of a reality to be nonsensical.

The first part of the principle implies that due to this complete harmonic unity, there is no room for accidents; and because accidents do not exist, therefore with the second and third part of the principle we can know past, present, future and the nature of all things.

Sub- realities could be anything, for example the formation of human bodies, animals, plants, mountains, winds, etc., also geophysical and atmospheric phenomenon like earthquakes, floods, storms, droughts; economical trends like the rise and fall of prices and stocks; in medicine it could be for example the progress of diseases or recoveries; in biology it could be, say, epidemics, the growth progress of vegetation's like forests, crops and so on.

Although the definition and nature of sub- realities play an important role, but at this juncture it is sufficient to define them as any subject whose frequency can be plotted on the time scale. The harmony of the reference sub- reality can be used to infer upon the harmony of the unknown sub- reality and in this way accelerate the progress of understanding the nature of the unknown sub- reality. We must have sufficient information of the reference sub- reality in order to make inferences on the unknown sub- reality.

A big aid which is available in our age of information is the presence of a vast amount of sufficient reliably recorded data along with date and time which can be taken as control and research material.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
