True, very true, but damn is religion just something I have no damn idea about, given i'm only 15 I guess I have a lot of time to ponder on it

if you see something you see it. light waves from the boat would be recieved by the indians eyes and transformed into an image of the boat in their brains.

once again...the brain processes 4 billion bits of information, but only 2,000 of that 4 billion is our awareness....

That movie is awesome and really makes you think about reality. One of the things that i liked about was how it made a point that the majority of matter is actually empty space between electrons. Thus most of our bodies do not exist but are simply empty space lol. That movie pretty much made me think differently especially when it talked about religions.

oh yeah, especially about how its absurd how we have the idea that god is a great being that we are supposed to please, and humor and to be good and follow requirements just in a hope of getting some type of little reward at the end of our lives

When Columbus's armada landed in the Caribbean, none of the natives were able to see the ships, even though they existed on the horizon. The reason that they never saw the ships was because they had no knowledge in their brains or no experience that clipper ships existed. So the shaman starts to notice that there are ripples out in the ocean, he sees no ship but he starts to wonder what's causing the effect. So every day he goes out and looks, and looks, and looks, and after a period of time he is able to see the ships. And once he sees the ships, he tells everyone else that ships exist out there, because everyone trusted and believed in him, they saw them also. Crazy huh?

I watched it with my mom... everything flew over my head.
Now that you mention it tho maybe i should sit down again and try to watch it and actually understand.

The part above clicks in my brain tho. Interesting...
