Your last statement is what I have always maintained, about humans suffering from the handicap of our limited senses and minds when we attempt to fathom the unknown. We don't have the perspective of God, after all. I'm curious, actually, what you mean by "Reductionism ... has been discussed lightly here before, ... a fascinating idea, except that it would destroy the foundation of the knowledge."

That's terribly vague. With all due respect, what did you mean by this, may I ask?
