Also, as a side, it is kind of remarkable to read what Kant argues as his conception of God on the basis of pure logic and what modern cosmology has dubbed the Singularity.
That is interesting but I'm afraid I don't know what else is to be said about the other matter. I take it on faith that our sense data and cognition have arisen biologically to successfully cope with something real of which we are apart. Anything paradoxical concerning reality is just our cognition revealing again that it hasn't evolved to ponder the depths of our navels or answer riddles.
Would that be Faith with a capital F, whateverist?
If rational principles are able to successfully cope with something real, does it stand to reason that those rational principles precede Space and Time, and represent to us the closest to this real thing that we can fathom? Or are Space and Time merely representations which are themselves not actual descriptions of existence as it truly is apart from an experience?
