We are limited to percieve and imagine with our 5 senses.

that is the reason we do not need to question the existence of God who is beyond what our senses can percieve.

enJoY

yes and so your point is?

What is the sound of one hand clapping, grasshopper?

False. Imagine one man has his 5 senses and holds and experiences your baseball. Then he loses his senses. He is still able to formulate that experience in his mind. Without his senses.

the baseball thinks not therefore it is not-many things exist but not visually(especially in the world of the blind) gravity exists but i never saw it coming. somethings exist only in our minds. pirsig said that according to the laws of science and nature ghosts have no mass or energy -therefore they do not exist.- but-the laws of science and nature have no mass or energy -

men could see Jesus Christ and still they said he did not exist, other men say they where blind and now they see,
maybe not all sight is visual?

wrong, as god's greatest creation, we are able to percieve and imagine with our feelings as well.

its like the tree falling in the woods

or this thought: what if live didnt exist but other objects did

nothings there to interpret it
does it still exist?
yes it does

but who says that religion is that way?
humans have told us god exists
how would they know?
how do we know that that not just some explanation for being here

and what happens when you die?

is there nothing inside that coffin just because nothing can interpret whats going on in there?
of course thats wrong, there is still something in the coffin, tho we can not see it

and our spirits when we die, do not go to heaven
its another explanation

the human brain literally can not understand infinity
we can not comprehend it
space supposedly goes on forever but i jsut cant picture that
its beyond our interpretation
so we decide that instead of dieing and not existing forever, we go to a place where you can think

and whats to say that that place IS something we can imagine?
if infinity exists and we cant comprehend it, then what else exists?
maybe its not life after death, but something complelety different that we cant even imagine

This is true to an extent, albeit that one can not perceive a 4 dimensional object as it would truly appear however by using what we know about geometry we can show what its 3d shadow would like by the application of our imagination.
When you tell me about the baseball I may not have perceptual experience of it however I am familiar with the concept and I am able to imagine it by applying the experience I have gained with similar objects, I might miss some of the details but I can approximate the idea with the minds eye.
You may assign limits to your imagination but do not expect that others should follow suit.
Even if I should meet a barrier within my own imagination do not expect that I should not strive to overcome that barrier.
