Yes, it's just akin to a conversation between a rationalist and someone who believes in god in this or that guise.

Nature might as well be a God (Gnon). The more we try to understand it's rules, the higher the probability of reward.

Whether it's a mindless God or not is irrelevant to this statement.

God is omnipresent? Reality is omnipresent. God is omnipotent? Reality not only can, but does do everything that can be done. God is omniscient? Reality is already the thing which is to be known.

Except that the blind idea of reality is as much idiotic as the belief in a God.

you really (haha) think there's no reality at all?

Don't be naive. The concept of reality requires adequate qualifications. Reality is never given on a silver plate. Reality is found and constructed by the labor of objectivity.

again, you seem to be subordinating reality to theory. is this a move to say that, with the right theory, anything is possible? I'm really trying to fathom what you think, because it doesn't seem to make any sense.

No you seem to misunderstand the nature of scientific theories. Scientific theories never say anything is possible. They rather re-construct what see as the apparition of reality by impersonal means.

You can't have any healthy notion of reality if you don't have math models, observations, unobservables (fictions in the technical sense), logical construction and range of possible applications. What you are talking about is the scholastic notion of reality which was crushed.

I can agree that without those one can't have any minimal grasp of reality, but reality would exist even if all those were absent. moreover, it would affect any such dim humans all the same.

Sorry for butting in, but reality absolutely requires assembly, because it's not the only thing that exists.
