Obviously colours are not really depicting reality, waves don't have real colours, our minds takes waves data and turns them into colours.
The brain would have to be born with some sort of apriori understanding of numbers (immaterial). At first, this doesn't look like a bad option; just say the brain's design allows for counting. However, it doesn't look as good when you start talking about how a physical thing (brain) has an immaterial thing (numbers) in it. It doesn't make it much different from a physical thing (body) having an immaterial thing (soul) in it. You end up back to where you start.

If I disagree, do I have to discuss it? I hate the skepticism vs. realism debate...
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
