Kant-originsSsS

“For how can we make out by experience whether the world is from eternity or had a beginning, whether matter is infinitely divisible or consists of simple parts? Such concepts cannot be given in any experience, however extensive, and consequently the falsehood either of the affirmative or the negative proposition cannot be discovered by this touchstone (Pg.75).” SO for once I agree with a statement of Kant’s. Our experiences began to occur since the day we were born. Since our births we have experienced different thing and those occurrences, for the most part, have remained with us throughout our lives. Any of our first memories only date back so far, even our great great great grandparents have really old memories that may have been passed down over the years.. But obviously none of those memories consist of the birth of the world. None of us have ever experienced such a huge event. We have books that tell us how we got to where we are today, and the influential people who were mainly responsible in helping us get there, but nothing about the very beginning of humans and the earth. How do we know what’s in the books is even true? How do we know that really was the beginning of civilization and religion and what not? We don’t, we just put faith into it because it’s all we have. But no experiences of any single person can tell us about the world, whether it is from eternity or it began on a specific day….I think it’s crazy how were all here on Earth together, making our lives work in a cycle, everything is so set in place, and no one has any clue as to how we got here…
