I'm okay with people being religious.

The way I figure it they're right about there being life after death and the non-religious are right about the supernatural being fictitious. I don't favor one group over the other. I guess this makes me a moderate, but I'm not a fence-sitter. I have strong views. 🙂

Belief based on emotion I can understand. Not so much when logic and reason is applied. The evidence is lacking.

@BlueSkyKing Honoring an ideal in reason is important.

@TeenAngel My adage is "If it’s not science, it’s superstition". Correct me if I’m wrong but your methodology allows a lot of speculation. Most religions have an afterlife.

@BlueSkyKing Music is neither science nor superstition, so your adage is flawed. And my methodology wasn't discussed in this post, so how can you suspect that it's speculative?

@TeenAngel Detectable, measurable, and repeatably testable qualifies as scientific evidence. Music is very mathematical. I was looking at a past post of yours.

@BlueSkyKing You have much to learn. If everyone could visit heaven on demand that would be testable evidence not measurable by any science existing now or in the future. And music is neither mathematical in its conception nor appreciation. It's a mixture of innovation and repetition of the emotionally pleasing kind. You're protecting the poor method and belief you've latched onto.

@TeenAngel Heaven (and hell) is an imaginary concept that varies with every individual. All music is sounds but all sounds are not music. Belief isn’t needed, the physics are clear. Octaves can be shown visibly. Music is also a language. That uses notations that are math based. Meaning anyone can reproduce with the appropriate instrument or computer program.
