I don’t believe you are a part of me…

It’s interesting to note that a-part of it literally and figuratively deconstructs the concept apart. Apart implies little or no referentiality,whereas the former imples very direct relationship.

Yes. My beliefs are panentheistic.

I looked it up and I still don’t understand…

what is it all about---------------------------------everything and nothing

so humans are making up these ideas about life …any evidence or is this belief…

Belief is the mother of fact. As I believe, so I am. I’m with Heraclitus in that the only thing permanent is change. Once anadherent of objective truth argued with me that knowing the capital of Bolivia is knowing an objective fact. Facts change. Well, Atlanta used to be Marthasville.

ier—how about atoms…do they exist …are we correct about hydrogen…is it a scientific fact…at least for now…because when people confuse fact with belief…we are in trouble…

The view of an atom a planetary system complete with electron orbit used to be considered fact. Science remains our best guess yet as to what comprises physical reality. What is seen as objective fact are propositions that have a wide consensus of agreement. Science of the brain has moved from phrenology to neuroplasticity. Who knows what it will entail a few decades from now.

you and I need to explore scientific fact…do you believe in the atomic theory…do you believe that hydrogen is an atom…

I believe hydrogen can be considered an atom for now, but atom is a name for an entire universe of subatomic particles of which only a few are now known. It’s like asking me if I believe there is such a thing as a bus without regards to its constituency or activity.

a hydrogen atom is not a subatomic particle…
and I am only talking about facts that are known now…

I never said hydrogen is a subatomic particle. I’m simply mentioning complexities of constituency that you tend to ignore. What we call facts are substantiated by consensus of agreement. There is no objective reality devoid of subjective interpretation.

how do you know what I ignore…
why is your opinion about facts so important…
