You missed the point on this one. Now I understand why you didn’t understand too much of the God Delusion.
Quote:No we can't. If we see something we only see it. Understanding involves a lot more than sensory perception, it requires imagination (to fill in the gaps)
God could be considered a gap filler, an abstract image used in absence of any information regarding the time before the Big Bang.
The question you have to ask yourself though is, "would you rather have a gap filler for a question that will never be answered, or will you be happy with a void."
It's a trick question, the void is the gap filler
Umm, yes we can…It’s not just seeing, it’s all the above involved, which I stated all senses and not just seeing.
If I “See” a round circle object on the ground, which looks dimpled and has a brownish red color to it and comes pretty close to a watermelon’s size but not shape;
And I “Touch” it, and it feels dimpled, flexible and a bit tough;
In which I put my tongue to it and “Taste” it, but it has no sweet taste, but a type of bitter and flexible feeling;
And shake it to “Hear” if anything is inside it, but it’s hallow on the inside…
And “Smell” it to find out its odor, which is a little strong but not in a horrific way;
Last but not least, I look around this objects surroundings and “See” it’s environment to find a hard long surface from which I’m standing on, with lines and at each end of the hard surface is two pillars with a see through square backing at the top of each and a round circle sticking out of each square a little bigger than what I found on the ground, but with a webbed white cloth hanging from the round hollow object……..
Just with my senses involved, can you guess what the round object I found on the ground is?
All 5 senses involved and without any void feeling gap.....Why?? Because I will continue to research and test my hypothesis until proven.....Voids are filled with discovery of evidence, not guessing games….Religion does a well enough job of that all on it’s on.
Intelligence is the only true moral guide...
