Atheistic Dogma- Scientific Fundamentalism

[Mudhammam]

Reality being real cannot be proven by the scientific method, we either trust that or we don't. Science tells us sense receptors respond to vibrations and give us an experience. It really doesn't clarify anything about what "is". We have to take it as a given to move on with trying to understand everything else.

Reality as in a person's experiences are real. Distinguishing between a subjective or objective experience--or reality--however, is what the scientific method attempts to establish and has proven itself quite adept at doing so. If I hallucinate and see what I take to be the Virgin Mary blowing me kisses, that is a very real experience for me, in a subjective sense, but not something from which we can draw a particular conclusion about objective reality other than what the sciences have already discovered in terms of mental processes.
