Re: Atheists?
the example of color and blindness only works because blindness is a handicap - people who can see do understand color
so we can grasp the difference of what the one person experiences compaired to a blind person. 'Fixing' the blind person is cheating.
one simple example. we understand things by creating a mental model. If we can build a model in our minds we can grasp it
but our minds are finite
Remember when you first learned of infinity? Our minds cant grasp it. How can the universe go on forever in one direction?
actaully, it cant. Before the big bang there was no time and there was no empty space either! We think of space as being nothing, but there was no nothing!
as the universe expands that boundary between 3 dimensional space, and the nothing-nothing outside it expands - time does not exist outside that boundary
how can that be? My mind cant grasp the idea of empty space not being there beyond the edge of the universe
but thats what the laws of physics require.
I dont think we can understand everything. That doesnt mean we should not try to grasp as much as we can.
