"I’ll believe it when I see it"—a phrase so often uttered, yet fundamentally flawed. It could just as easily be rephrased as, "I’ll believe it when I hear it," and the absurdity remains.
Consider this: the human auditory system is designed to translate vibrations ranging from 20 to 20,000 Hz into sounds we can comprehend. Yet, our feline and canine companions perceive frequencies up to 40,000 Hz, and bats, those masters of echolocation, hear as high as 100,000 Hz. Does their heightened auditory range mean their world is intrinsically different from ours? Of course not.
The same principle applies to vision. What we "see" are simply electromagnetic signals processed by the visual cortex. Color perception varies wildly—what you perceive as vivid red might appear closer to pink for someone else. Who is correct? Who is mistaken? Neither—and both. Our perceptions are subjective interpretations of objective reality, filtered through biological limitations.
This is the crux of the issue: we perceive only a fragment of creation. To confine the concept of reality to the narrow bandwidth of human senses is not just arrogant but staggeringly foolish.🤷🏻♂️
