The question is whether there is anything that is necessarily incomprehensible due to some limitation in the human condition.
Can a worm comprehend Mozart? No. Can a monkey comprehend math? No. Given any animal, it's easy to see that there are things that species will never comprehend. For it to be different for humans, we would have to be a truly perfect species, without natural limitations. Believing this to be the case surely must be irrational anthropocentrism. How would the worm even KNOW that it is missing out on Mozart? How would a person even KNOW that he is missing out on ____________?
Quote:Not when infinite things are not impossible, and even one of them can satisfy the OP argument. Arguing that one SPECIFIC thing is not impossible, so is likely real, is terrible. Arguing that SOMETHING that we cannot conceive, ever, is real, is perfectly reasonable, since it doesn't require imagining people to be infallible gods.
Something not being impossible is the worst conceivable argument for it being real.
