Quote:And the rationale behind your supposition that we aren't is...?
We don't even know what the phrase "all of reality" refers to.
Quote:How do you know that? You said it yourself that you don't know anything about the fundamental nature of reality (or if there is a fundamental nature of reality) to know whether god has anything to do with it.
This challenge is completely unrelated to the statement you are referencing. Try again please.
Quote:Really? Because both philosophy and science have been studying and defining that one since the very beginning. Its called metaphysics. Look it up.
How big is reality? Please give us it's dimensions, and we can go from there.
Quote:Therefore, there is no reason to believe that anything is beyond our knowledge.
When will science end? If you answer hundreds or thousands of years, or never, then it follows we currently know pretty close to nothing. Very little in any case.
Quote:And that claim is refuted by the fact that we do know thereby proving that we are qualified to know. That is how we know that we know. The arena is defined. It has been studied and continues to be studied.
How big is reality please. This would seem to be a very basic question about reality. If you don't know how big reality is, then you don't know how big your sample size is either. That is, we don't know what the relationship is between the known and the unknown. The known might be a meaningful sample of the unknown, or it might be a completely meaningless sample.
Why is it reason to come to a sweeping firm conclusion based on an unknown sample size?
