I shall always question that which I believe to be true. At any point in time, we can not know any truth, we can only consider what we perceive.

hi!

We can definitely influence life around us; and if thoughtfully applied, with desireable consequences for ourselves. That's what Project Managers do, they "assure" (make happen) an "outcome" (result) occurs regardless of the variations in their professional environment (office politics, vendor support, money available, ...). Within their perceived professional Reality, they construct a desired environment from which a desired outcome will reasonably grow.

Dear James!
All what you have wrote here is logic and rational explanation. I understand but there is something doesn't let me just take note of it. The human's comprehension of reality is changing with scientific progress, so if, like you have said "there are no absolute proofs" - who can say we realy know what that reality is about?
I presently believe that we can use the relationships that we can recognize to do something useful. Reality in whatever is truely real, can at best be only "partially" (in part) "perceived" (considered before acting) by us. So we can only work with certain relationships we can understand with our simple minds. But with these relationship tools we can influence our own life and the lives of everything in the future. Just because we don't understand how electricity works, doesn't mean we can not flip a switch to turn on a light, or the computer we are using. Truely understanding Reality does not prevent us from making money, loving others, ... we are just extremely limited because we don't understand reality, nor may we at any point in our lives, since the "extents" (limits) of our lives is not known.

I don't believe we have the capability of knowing what an absolute truth is. Our minds are too simple and our ability to perceive the Universe in all its complexity is currently beyond any person's capability. Therefore the concept of an absolute truth is not particularly useful except in supporting superstition.
The equivalent of "Superstition" is used often in science to make shortcut calculations. Scientists and Engineers are very comfortable using the concepts of "a system of Assumptions". They take on Faith that certain assumptions are true (truth in science is more accurately defined as 'usefully repeatable') so that research can begin without knowing Everything first. So Faith and Superstition are useful tools in Science to begin the Search.
But whenever an assumption is considered that does not have the ability to be proven false, a scientist will push that concept aside until some valid test(s) for being false can be conceived. There can be no potential for truth if the system of that truth does not provide a method of being proven false. So scientists use Assumptions that have been successfully used previously as a basis for research. But just because something is not disprovable, does not mean the concept is without productive use. Consider the many billion dollars made every year by religious leaders. The concepts are not disprovable, but they are successful in using the relationships regardless. So Perceived Reality is as useful a relationship for doing certain things (like making money) as is Actual Reality. But understanding Actual Reality would ultimately provide us with much more general and broad benefits.
Consider the Universe and knowing the Universe is much older than the Earth; and that many billions of other planets like Earth currently exist, and many trillions of planets like Earth have been born, lived, and extinguished long before the Earth was born. So with some certainty, we know we are not alone in the Universe. We can't see, touch, or taste it; but to some degree we can feel it. Science is taking a leap of faith in exploring the depths of space that other life exists. How many billions of dollars have been spent (promoting our economy) in the search for information outside of the Earth? We have discovered many things, including how to change things on Earth that we had not previously considered. Many of the products we have today came from space-based research.
Our perceived reality is based upon the relationships we successfully manipulate.
Scientists often take a leap of faith in considering a new direction of research; but they follow up their assumptions with measureable results. This is the basic problem with understanding Reality; we can not currently perceive or understand the complexities of even the simplest observation (result).
But, we can use what we do perceive and successfully manipulate the environment around us into our pre-conceived desires.
With understanding the relationships of our perceived reality, we can increase the probability of a desired outcome.
Here is a formal way of relating the Qualities of a Desired Outcome (result) with the Steps we propose to take.

Every desired outcome depends upon a particular environment being present to allow the outcome to exist. So by developing the components of the environment, we are able to assure the desired outcome occurs in some fashion; though likely not exactly as we want (our own limitations).

- see_stars:
"We have no form and are considered lifeless because of our simplistic makeup. Do we exist, not as we percieve ourselves to be."
could you explain what that mean, please?
i can't translate it well to my language
thank you very much
I do not remember the context in which I wrote the quote.
But I will guess that I was referring to how we tend to think of ourselves as the center of the Universe. We tend to think of our skin as a solid, as a "physical form" (basic component of our perceptions) that in itself defines a basic form of matter. We have long known we are composed of complex energy relationships; nothing solid at all. Particles pass through our bodies every day without us even being aware.
In the presently accepted scientific reality, people are "beings" (one of many forms of life) composed of "energies" (non-solid components), we are formless. We only appear to have a form because of our limited perceptions.
Heat from our bodies, gravity waves that we produce, electro-magnetic waves from our nervous system, our minds instances of "quantum entanglement" (two or more particles coupled instantaneously without reference to distance), permeate out into space without us having any concept of how we are interacting with the Universe from one moment to the next. We are "formless" (without any real boundaries to define our influence) because we have no boundaries in our influence; only perceived boundaries. We are formless because we can not realistically define the edges of our form.
We are very "simplistic" (built in the form of being simple) beings; we have a "simplistic makeup" (being so simple that we are unable to ethically participate with nature to promote bio-diversity). We are incapable of individually dealing with the complex relationships that actually exist in nature. Therefore we are not able to interact with nature in the "symbiotic" (ethical give and take relationship) way in which life exists in nature; we have already killed over 1/2 of all the known species of life in the past 200 years. We are not part of life, we are presently part of death. To be a valid part of life a being must be part of the "ecology" (balance of "bio-diversity" (complex living systems that contribute mutually to support one another)).
Because of our limitations in being able to think and relate to the Universe around us, we live in a "continuum" (identifiable space limited by certain relationships) of relationships based in superstition. Even in science, every fact that is generated is logical within our understanding, but is superstition because it is "enveloped" (packaged) within things we yet do not know about. Every newly generated relationship continuously generates new restrictions for all previously discovered relationships.
"Nothing travels faster than the speed of light"; yet explain "Quantum Entanglement" or the abberation of gravity; both appear to have testable properties that propogate instantaneously. So we must put further restrictions on the speed of light so that other related relationships are still predictable.
You can look up "Unified Field Theory" (concept that all interactions in the Universe are predictable) to see how complex the relationships in science can become.
Every property that we observe is a "confluence" (product of all known relationships that generates an observable "anomaly" (unique presentation)) where everything in the Universe combines together to force that condition to be true. It does not matter if we understand all the relationships or not, or that we can even sense the confluence. A confluence simply occurs because it must.
Fill a jar full of water, drop it off a building onto a concrete surface. The result happens because it must.
We are simplistic and formless because we can not perceive the "extents" (final limits) of what we touch.
