That's the point. What we are experiencing may very well be the true nature of things. But we have no way of being sure. So we have to acknowledge that we are assuming that reality is as we perceive it

If we can assume reality is as we perceive it, why can’t we assume reality is in its very true nature?


Science didn’t just wake up and say that they don’t know dark matter true nature, they didn’t ASSUME!

You are better than this na.
We have to first of all ASSUME that reality is as we perceive it. Once we are done with that,
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE suggests a designer.

LoLz. Your juvenile attempt to poison the well didn't work so now you still want to introduce your god after you said there is no proof sufficient to make a decision either way. Sorry not sorry, I reject your designer based on your own premises.

Still waiting for where I told you there is no god. LMAO!

Your first statement doesn't make any sense. Either way it is an ASSUMPTION. That's the point.

Science knows dark matter is there because they can perceive it. They just don't know it's true nature.
Same way, we can perceive reality but we have no way of knowing it's true nature

“So we have to acknowledge that we are ASSUMING that reality is as we perceive it“ but this make sense?

Perceive means to understand.
If scientist understand what dark matters mean with facts and evidence.

Can you also make me understand what reality is with facts and evidence so when we finally know its true nature we can compare and contrast?

I don't care for your circumstantial evidence, it means nothing since it can point to nothing of substance. You are free to conjecture all you want but know that that is all it is and it doesn't convince us.

So scientist don’t understand dark matter, they just “perceive” it? Bwahahahah
Why you so desperate to base your life on assumption and not understanding? Is it an attempt to bring your “designer” in?

Now that he has pointed you to an admissible evidence which proves Truth, called "circumstantial evidence" you are running.

Workch:

This is how to make evidence, you don't just make claims and then boom, you expect us to believe it. It has to be tested. Testimonies are never evidence. It's more and more claims

Testimonies are what is called "Oral Evidence" subject to many tests before they can be taken as True and Proof of Truth!

Now, see below

Circumstances evidence is something accidentally being there that satisfies a man's desires (woman), or you being attracted to older people as you get older, people that repulsed you when you were younger.

LMFAO! Did you look at the name on the screenshots you posted? Does LordReed and hopefulLandlord look like the same to you?

None of the scenarios you posit make any sense to me. I have a wife, I didn't just wake up one day and find her in my bed, there was a deliberate effort to get her there. And no I am not attracted to older people because I'm growing older. If that is what is happening to you no need to generalise it.

Now I strongly suspect you are the Matrix fellow, this is exactly how he used to behave. Using wonky things as examples and attempting all manner of obfuscation.

this is strawman.
The issue here is not to prove reality, the issue here to to prove the potency of miracle using controlled method just the same way you can prove that levofloxacin can cure typhoid fever.

Whether or not reality can be proven, it wont affect the result

Why call it "miracle" if you can put it under experiment?

By its very nature, miracle means something you can't logically explain. How do you prove that which can't be logically explained.

I'm not sure religious people are still going about seeking to give evidence to atheists and agnostic.

Spiritual journey is longer and far more adventurous than that. If you're in it, you're in it. If you're not in it, keep exploring agnosticism.

Perhaps those new to their spiritual walks can try convincing you but a lot of spiritual folks simply don't care anymore. They can "pray" for you in their corners though.

What's with you and all this Matrix stuff??!!
Just because you are are same guy as in my screenshot! Either you are same guy or you are twins!
I didn't even look at the moniker.

You don't find it suspicious that you need a woman and women just magucally exist that exactly satisfy that need??!!
You are being economical with the truth about being attracted to 50 year-olds when you were 15. As you get older something adjusts your eyes and taste and you find them sexy and attractive!
