Can Skeptics be Believers & opposite?

Somewhere it was mentioned;

colours are sprit of any substance"

I liked it. Any way soul is defined as;

a person's total self
4 a : an active or essential part b : a moving spirit : LEADER
5 a : the moral and emotional nature of human beings b : the quality that arouses emotion and sentiment c : spiritual or moral force :

What can arouse the emotion and sentiment or what can represent moral and emotional nature of human beings?

You can talk about colors according to science, but you can't talk about 'spirit' . I don't know how that person used the word. It might have been poetic. It might have been a non-physical non-scientific idea. It sounds nice, but it means nothing in a scientific sense.

The word 'soul' is used in lots of different ways. Most of those in your definition fit into psychology or other areas. They are difficult to talk about using scientific methods, and there is not usually any value in doing so.

The sun is not a person.

One meaning for the word 'soul' is some part of the person's personality which survives after death. This is what I thought you were talking about in the other topic. There is no way to measure this as long as it has no physical components. You can measure moonlight, but you cannot say (as an example) that the soul, or a ghost, is made of moonlight, because you can't show that there is a soul.

Kumar, the sun is a flaming ball of hydrogen a million miles across.

Most people aren't.

Darn, my link said much the same thing. But it seems not to have worked.
Here's another URL : "Why does the sun shine" under the Space Songs header. (it will be familiar to TMBG fans)

So true.
 
I think language of spritual sayings or ancient sayings is either indirect or indirect to us. We therefore try to understand a concept in logic/reality not in person. If someones says roots or say base of tree, do not make much differance but still looks differant. Any shown/indicated physical entity which help in doing some of our work, can also some of our substance in micro/energy or matter form. We should therefore compare properties/qualities as indicated in ancient indications & should know real eaning/logic/science/essence behind it instead taking it in gross/macro person/entity. Probably but mostly, we can know all or most of ancients sayings in this way, in real meaning/logic/science or essance behind these direct or indirect indications. A mythologically interpreted drama can mean some reality behind it indirectly hidden in it.

I therefore linked those aspects which travel by speed of light. Released body heat can be alike Sunlight, but refelcted light from body can be alike moon-light.
 
I can't help but shake the feeling that Kumar as a 'soul' is simply an elaborate prank.
Is somebody like Claus or Hans perhaps having fun with another account ?

Because the alternative is to believe that Kumar is for real ... :p
 
Ahh a quote from Annajanska, 1917 :)

I do like that George Bernad Shaw.

"You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?"

We already know what they knew, including what they thought they knew that turned out to be wrong.

Yeah, they're morality plays. Humans haven't changed much in the 5000 years since the Epic of Gilgamesh was written. (Yes, Kumar, we still have the writings of people who lived 5000 years ago. They were just people.)

The engineer and the architect. :p

Of course, it's the poor bloody engineer who has to make the building stay up.

Light is light, Kumar. Emitted or reflected or transmitted or refracted or diffracted, it's all the same.

But reflected light from a substance can be differant from heat released & emitted light on its burning?

What is the differance between reflection from white object & reflection from mirror? When white object can reflect all wavelengths, why it is not alike mirror?

Ooh, let me try.

Light reflects off the mirror with the angle of reflection equal to the angle of incidence, whereas white objects scatter light in many directions, because they're not perfectly smooth like mirror.

Yes, thanks. What about when we paint white paint behind a glass & then reflect?

The glass wouldn't matter. Light would be scattered by the white paint. Mirrors don't reflect light with glass but with silver or aluminum layer at the back of the glass.
 
No

Oh, sorry. That was a little premature.

Carry on.

Well, obviously it can be different (note spelling), but that's because the light is produced in an entirely different (note spelling) way. Incidentally, note how the word "different" is spelled.

How these differents lights & heat(noted spelling,thanks) can interact with our body & effect--i.e. reflected light, heat & emitted light(if can)?
