Seeing merely requires one's senses.
Rational thought requires both the senses and some rudimentary grasp of causation.
But the fact that humans cannot see what happens to them after death causes them to invent something.
Physical phenomena are ALWAYS explainable through mathematics. That is the reason why the laws of physics are demonstrated through mathematical equations. Pure mathematics is NOT an EMPIRICAL form of inquiry. It exists in the world of IDEAS.
So, you do not consider this a DUALITY in all things material, hmmm?
I still fail to understand how this effects religion. I can look at pure mathmatics and see the logic and proof behind it. I can see the origin of the answer to the question, the way they came to the answer etc.
When I'm told to trust a 2,000 year old book about some bloke from 2,000 years ago about all things eternal, I wonder where he got his ideas from, and wether or not the book is logical, and wether or not it is all fabrication. And from there, I wonder if any man made religions have any proof.
I do not argue the existence of duality, I think it quite likely, but also quite
unlikeley
The validity of an idea, especially one that is abstract, rests on its LOGIC.
Yes. Well, I had a vision last night from God. He said we should all eat cabbage 3 times a day. I convince my children of this nonsense, wheres the logic that this rests on?
And society, like everything, has an inherent DUALITY.
So, whether you like it or not, you simply cannot dismiss duality. Either it operates in everything, or it not at all.
Yes, it had inheret duality, but only because it is a convinient answer.
