Multitudes of people praying has proven to make a positive difference in the outcome of war, death, destruction and cancer.
Only for very low scales of "proof".
It makes the people praying feel good, but that's about the only part of it that's been "proven."
How can I prove to you that I have seen what I have seen
when I haven't got a photo and a photo can be shopped?
Raise the standard enough
and nothing can be proven.
I have seen ,what I cannot prove to you I have seen ,
but , I have no proof that you exist.
so does it matter?
My existance can be taken on faith,
or can it ?Cognito Ergo Sum.
I am not likely to be nothing
but Je pense donc je suis does nothing for you
You are not here , you are not seen ,
what you say I could cognito for myself
given an illusion of suffecient power.
Je pense donc je suis for yourself
But how to connect between us?
What can tell me you arn't just a shadow on the wall of my cave?
Can a thought I cannot think be produced and shown as proof thay you have thought it?
Or would any such thought necessacerily be incomprehansable to be since I can think everything I can understand.
Whether all life and all Matter may be illusory has been a quandry since anchient times.
Thank you Descartes ,at least ,for letting me live.
