Interesting
When I open up Youtube I am presented with a seemingly random selection of videos. Most look boring, but every now and then one of them catches my attention. I found this one particularly fascinating. It is quite safe to watch; it contains no politics or religion.

Are you now more enlightened?
Or...are you trying to prove a point?
Or...only see what they want to see?
One of the goals of science is to extend our senses by creating useful tools and tests to answer questions with controls to eliminate other causes for those answers. It's one of the reasons, that
scientists understand beyond the average person.
I know what you mean about the verses. Having the Bible quoted at you in the hope of making an impact when you have already made it clear that it means nothing to you seems a very bizarre thing. Especially, as you say, when it is done by means as far removed from God as you can get.
I saw colours in a different way to him. He was not colour blind and is a great artist but sometimes his trees and mountains would be 'off' and I would say, do you not think that there is too much of a purple hue or orange... he took my advise and would change the colour. I have problems with dimensions. I even knew as a child that we even heard things differently. You can see it in certain illnesses where Autistic children will not interpret eye signals, smiles correctly and a low self esteem may make us think that somebody has ignored us all night when they haven't. Body Dysmorphia is another painful conditon .
What we see is not reality , and for me I can only say, I choose to live in my own world. No, not as a person with Autism might do, but having the choice there are some realities that I refuse to see. I live life as I want to see it. This probably makes no sense as am tired and getting ready for bed. It is something that you can think deeper on and it was a good blog.
In the case of scientist they are exposed to instruments that greatly expand the human senses. But seemingly only those who write fiction - science fiction - seem able to explain their vision to the layman. As an example the original Cosmos series was written by Carl Sagan, an avid sci fi author of many books.
Harbal I apologize for going off topic
I don't think I made any sense about living the life I had decided was the right one for me , intellectually and emotionally. I Wish I was one of thosw people who can say it all in 2 lines. But I never was that person.
