The question you should be asking: how can one differentiate a crackpot theory from the real thing? If you have no test to differentiate these two, then your theory is no more and no less valid than any other crackpot theory. So you can advance the idea that "our beings encompass a huge amount of data stored in our conscience, a gift of nature, blah, blah..."but it is no different than any other crackpot theory.(March 5, 2016 at 4:48 am)little_monkey Wrote: IOW, you have no evidence. With your point of view, anyone can start with logic and then develop any metaphysical concept. But how would you decide which metaphysical concept is true, since you have no evidence to differentiate those that are true from those that false?
Simply keep in mind that life is too short and it would not let us comprehend every single truth through scientific explorations or philosophical methods. However, our beings encompass a huge amount of data stored in our conscience, a gift of nature, which gives us the sense of right and wrong. Therefore, use logic to refine those feelings by developing logic with the help of science, philosophy, history, and any true information about the nature that you have.
The biggest hurdle in all that process of searching the truth is our ego, self-centric attitude, pleasure seeking behaviour, etc. If you are honest in searching the truth, then you should keep yourself refrain from these hurdles and I assure you that you will reach the ultimate truth within a very short time.
