No oxygen to the brain, then it's over. Yes, it's a fact -- to us anyway, who think logically. And logic is what condemns us. We're just doomed to think logically. We can't think otherwise. Me, neither. But that doesn't mean what we don't believe in does *not* exist.

I disagree. Most of our thinking is not rational at all. Most of it is acquired by habit, thru experience & not reasoning at all.
As far as something that exists that we don't believe in, I'm going to need an example of what you are talking about.

You would never know, logically, that after several minutes of no oxygen, the brain cells no longer function. This information came to us thru observation & experience. Just as a child cannot reason logically that putting its hand in a fire will burn.

The child learns from experience, not logical deduction.

(1) Well, maybe I didn't know what "logic" really means. But the true definition of the term doesn't really matter. What I mean is that we're programmed to think in terms of what we believe we know from this tiny space of the universe we happened to be condemned to.

(2) A child knows from experience that when they touch a fire, their fingers burn. Yes, that's a fact -- a fact to us, who happen to live in this tiny space in the entire universe. But we don't know how things are outside this tiny space.

(3) Until just a few hundred years ago, we thought we knew by experience that the earth was flat. Until about the same time, we thought we knew by experience that the sun went around us.

(4) There should have been many such things we thought we knew from experience that later on turned out to be false. Who knows? Thousands of years from now, there may arrive a new kind of people who do *not* get burned when they put their hand into a fire.
