That is an obvious fact, and it proves nothing, unless you are using Aristotle criterion of reality, which is simply logically inconsistent with the Mechanist theory. Seeing proves nothing. It can only augment or diminish the plausibility of a theory. That is why we have to backtrack to Plato, whose conception of reality makes much more sense when we assume mechanism in cognitive science. > > >You need to keep in mind the Aristotle/Plato divide. > > No I do not!

The fact that some people are wrong in some domain (geography) does not entail that they were wrong in another domain. Your point is not valid. We have made some progress in physics and technology, but we have regress a lot in the most fundamental science (theology or metaphysics). Indeed, some people still believe that seeing the moon is a prove of the existence of a primary moon, which is simply not valid, as Pythagoras and Plato understood, but we have been brainswashed since with Aristotle metaphysics (materialism, the belief in the necessity to assume a primary physical universe, or primary matter, today completely confuse with physical universe and matter).
