Scientific knowledge versus spiritual knowledge

[Neo-Scholastic]

Because your concept of reality is severely constricted if you actually think that only scientifically verifiable facts count as knowledge.

No just the opposite. Scientific method opens doors.

No one is disparaging the modern scientific method or the innumerable technological advances from which we benefit. All I am saying is that life has a qualitative aspect that cannot be analyzed or appreciated on a purely materialistic level. If your only gauge of what counts as reality is your physical and material well-being, then you have summarily discarded the entire world of inner personal life that cannot be reduced to physical facts.
