As an atheist the only problem I have is religion's claim to have those answers...but I see the universality of human civilization CONSISTENTLY having some sort of religion and it makes me wonder. Also agree with John than anything really can exist!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367161100956691682.post-78816704711546576762011-01-16T05:38:29.708-08:002011-01-16T05:38:29.708-08:00well will plz tell me dat is imagination important...well will plz tell me dat is imagination important or knowledge.junaidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367161100956691682.post-1215007101421821942011-01-07T18:24:13.843-08:002011-01-07T18:24:13.843-08:00Thank you very much for your comments!
Yes, John,...Thank you very much for your comments!<br /><br />Yes, John, the problem is that everyone wants to claim a part of this "entity" or being. Just like putting flags on the moon (or anywhere for that matter) does not really signify ownership.<br /><br />Absolutely, Vincent. As Einstein said Imagination is more important than knowledge. And this is coming from a genius and renowned scientist.Arash Farzanehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000344680925876563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367161100956691682.post-15781152686944632092011-01-06T05:45:11.637-08:002011-01-06T05:45:11.637-08:00I agree with your thesis.

To operate day to day in this complicated world we need a point of view and we thrive on metaphor: something which can be grasped in the imagination, as opposed to some abstract reasoning which isn’t possible without special training in academic disciplines, and isn’t universally accepted even then.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367161100956691682.post-29864268811712017202010-11-01T19:58:47.219-07:002010-11-01T19:58:47.219-07:00Thought I am not religious and typically do not be...Thought I am not religious and typically do not believe in anyone's God, I think it is possible that a being exists and that Muslims, Christians, Jews and even Buddhists, Hindus and scientologists see aspects of some being and do not realize that it is the same entity. <br /><br />I have not considered that reality as we know it is an illusion and at once exposes a reality that we all see in our own way (until now). <br /><br />Your position, which would be discarded by many, I think, makes as much sense as anything else. The truth is mysterious and at this point unknowable. <br /><br />Your blog is one of my favorites, and one I visit often, because you always surprise me with bizarre ideas that make as much sense as commonly accepted facts.John Mystehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16263634313238599515noreply@blogger.com
