You are merely defending religion rather than adressing the more general issue of the metaphysical.

Hmm....let's see stating that science and religion are simply explaing the same thing is defending religion how? Didn't I also add in the universal conciousness? I could talk about the Zen void or the Great Spirit as well. Or any other number of metaphysical examples. Sorry, I guess citing one wasn't enough for you. Perhaps I overestimated your ability to grasp the obvious. Or maybe it was the fact that you specifically asked about God in the beginning.

I am right. I can't explain to you why. you will never be able to understand why. But I am right

If that is what you got out of that statement perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension skills a bit more. Or at the very least get over yourself a tiny bit.
How does my asking you if you think you can explain color to a blind person translate as. "I am right"
Or asking you to explain what feelings and emotions actually encompass?
Or describe a taste to someone who has no clue what the word salty means. Asuming the world salty exists at all.
Pray tell....how does this translate to I am right? Or does your inability to answer mean that YOU think I am right and that just burns you up?
Because seriously Bubba, I have made a very clear case for language being the problem. Which incedently has nothing to with science, religion or the metaphysical other than as a way to describe the subject that YOU asked be used in the begining. All you have done is project your inability to comprehend any answer given onto the rest of the people in this thread.
Now, if you can actually cite an example of my trump card. Or pull out any statement that a rational person could translate as "I think I am right" you may have a leg to stand on.
Oh and by the way, the fact that I used the taste, color, emotion and later the ocean examples show that I am inactuality not "being very specific" I am in fact using non religious examples to help prove that my theory is not just about God / Science. That the language problem effects every aspect of human life.
