There is no immediate consequence on earth for rejecting it but there is later.

How do you know that?

When you are limited to the optical part of the spectrum ...

But, we are not. If we were, we would not know the visusal part of the spectrum is not the entire spectrum. The senses are not a limit to knowledge, they are the only means to knowledge. The senses are not knowledge, they are awareness (and the only awareness we have) of reality. Knowledge is what we come to understand about that reality we are conscious of.

Not by science or reason. I guess that only leaves faith.

Shouldn't that be enough?

Then why all the angst over something that is of no consequence to it?

So you just believe what you believe, with no evidence that it is true, and for no reason whatsoever. How is that any different from what any religious, superstitious, or psychotic person believes? They have exactly the same basis for their belief as you have for yours, nothing at all.

(By the way, do you think science is unable to discover the truth of anything? This article only pertains to what science can discover, and how to prove that, and nothing else. Since you believe faith and science belong to entirely different realms, your comments are irrelavent to the subject of this post. I think that is what tacticalogic has been trying to convey as well. He can correct me if I'm wrong.)

I think you got it pretty well.

Who has angst and who said there is no consequence?

You apparently do, and if your faith is independent of logic, how can logic be of any consequence to it?
