How do I know the things I know?

[Akincana Krishna dasa]

Don't you think that maybe this 'seeing' god is actually just interpreting things that are completely natural as acts of god? Why do we have to 'find' god anyway? Should we take our seniors' word for it? Why does god value belief over worship; shouldn't he just reveal himself to everyone and see who will follow?

1. Maybe, but no, I don't think so. Do you ever think your faith in scientism is actually just interpreting acts of god as completely natural?

2. You certainly don't have to if you don't want to.

3. Depends. Sometimes it's smart to take your seniors words on things, other times, not. I'm sure we've all had both experiences.

4. Who says God values belief over worship? He does reveal Himself to everyone and sees who follows.

Vedic mythology offers no theories, and no explanations. Vedic mythology offers...wait for it....mythology. You and I are clearly operating on different definitions for the words theory and explanation. Beyond enjoying a story...I fail to see why I would even need what little vedic mythology offers. They got any good bread recipes in there, cure for cancer maybe?

Vedic knowledge offers a complete explanation of reality from a perfect authority. As for Vedic knowledge offering "mythology" - well, I guess anyone can just say whatever they what about whatever they want, whether they know anything about anything or not. Talk to me what makes something a myth.

Scientism - the view that empirical science can entirely explain reality, based on the fallible authority of the human attempt at knowledge - is a myth.
