Richard Dawkins

Dawkins said that all the elements of the world are empty space and that everything solid is made out of empty space but to us it seems to be solid because we are solid so two solid things can not pass through each other. When he quoted a man who said that solid things are fiction because they are not there, but we make them real because it has become useful to us in the middle world. I think that would mean that everything that is theory or that we think is happening in an object is real which could be true because it is only a non fiction thing.

I think that everything that he said about empty space could be true because we can not prove it but it is such a huge possibility that solid things could only be objects that we need to survive. Dawkins said that if all the things that we think are real are really not real because it is only a fictional solid then we are not real because it did not exist and we did not exist so we should be careful how we use real. I think that some of what Dawkins said is true because I do believe that I am real but there are things that I do not understand so to question what is real or not is hard because I will never know what is true.
