Well then, OBVIOUSLY, if 'insight' is missing, then the so-called "prophets" or the so-called "oracle at delphi" are NOT providing thee actual 'insights' in their sayings or metaphors.owl of Minerva wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 8:14 pm Dontaskme wrote:

owl of Minerva:
You are missing the point. You are hung up on analysis. There are two ways of knowing: insight; revelation, revealed truth which could be by a prophet or by the Oracle at Delphi. If it needs to be analyzed to be understood, then insight is missing.
Also, 'revealed truth' can be REVEALED and/or SEEN by ANY one.
If this were True, then WHY can 'religion' NOT 'reveal insights', to 'you', adult human beings?owl of Minerva wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 8:14 pm With science it is knowing by thought experiments and analysis of prior views. One example is time as seen by Aristotle and Newton. Both views were modified into a third view by Einstein which lasted until Quantum Mechanics. Which in its turn will last until the next discovery. To understand what time is, in its essence, would require knowing the nature of reality. Science is not about knowing, it is about finding out in increments and that requires analysis.
Religion is different, when it is analyzed as theology it becomes a study of reality, not insight into the nature of reality, which is what religion is in its essence.
By the way, the 'nature of reality' is ALREADY KNOWN, and this came about NOT necessarily through 'science' NOR 'religion' alone, but from a process where ALL Truly 'insightful knowledge' is 'revealed' and becomes CRYSTAL CLEAR.
'Run parallel to each other' is about the most insightful knowledge that you have revealed here, for 'us'.owl of Minerva wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 8:14 pm Unlike science analysis in religion obscures rather than enlightens.
Both ways of knowing insight and analysis are valid, and should run parallel to each other.
