It is a statement of the distinct failure of humanity admitting their shortcomings and lack of understanding for those easily attainable things surrounding us; and their predilection to claim to "know," things that could not possibly be known.OK, this:

I believe in what I can sense and mentally fathom.Seemed to be to being saying exactly that, but ok. There are very likely things we can not know or maybe even ask reasonable questions about (like what came before the universe, since that question makes no sense if time started with the universe). But having only read the preface to KindsDethroned its author is clearly making the classic claim of those whose work can not be replicated by others. It is not governments nor institutions that pass judgement on scientific claims but the work of other scientists, i.e. peer-review. Further now, as opposed to in 1920's we have all the evidence of space travel. To claim a work published only in the popular press 100 years ago somehow proves all of space travel (including the things we all can observe working, like GPS, sat TV, etc) must be false, seems quite ridiculous to me.
I can point to the things present around me, occupying the areas I have been or am in, and state, "I understand ..."
And that is just for a very small portion of things.
To claim I can look at things I do not have access to and lay any sort of claim consisting of, "THIS IS REALITY," is just nutso thinking.
