Serendipper,
I do not understand this. Can you elaborate a bit more on it. For an observation to be made, must there not be an observer ~~ unless you are using the term *observer-less to mean something different?
Graciousness.
Yes, this I can see and agree with but I am not understanding the connection between the above and an observer-less observation.
I get this too. We can only work with who or what we are and how things affect us/our relationship to them.
One may say that human nature is also composed of dark matter (the unknown negative [not negative charge]) and dark energy which also affects the path of light (enlightenment/goodness) coming through us and into us. Dorky?
It is kind of like the human brain in a way. More is not known about it than is known about it.
I understand this too. lol Perhaps my first question had more to do with facts/evidence, what we do know, when we observe something. So the term “interpretation” might not have anything to do with objectivity but with subjectivity or our own perception. Did that make sense to you?
So what would You call it if not observation? You are sitting on a park bench, looking up at the sky, wondering if there could actually be Something called God. You are observing everything which brings you to this Question. Could you not then say that the question of God’s reality becomes an observation, something to be looked at and observed?
I am not saying that I am right. I am just questioning.
I understand this. So what is it that my agnostic self is in actuality doing above from your point of view?
I did not know that. It is very interesting actually. I went deer hunting a few times with a boyfriend and I am so glad that he never found one to kill. But perhaps we honor the deer who’s meat is at least eaten ~ better than to die of hunger and cold.
I suppose though that I was being a bit naive to think that I could actually SEE ~ When you look at a cup, all you can perceive is a rather thin band of electromagnetic radiation emanating from it
I want to see that. How is it done? There is so much of THAT kind of magic in the universe. I would like to be able to experience more of it.
…or the humble but wonderful abilities of other humans such as archaeologists, historians, et cetera. On second thought, nothing so humble about those people ~ simply awesome!
If only we could go back in time ~ I mean really back in time. I wonder where I would go first.
