DENYING SENSE IMPRESSIONS
Question—I have been puzzled by the attempts of some philosophies to deny sense impressions. This does not seem reasonable to me. Does Religious Science deny or discredit the evidence of our senses?
ANSWER-If we denied the evidence of our senses completely, then by what criterion would we judge anything correctly? Religious Science does not deny the evidence of the senses, but of course does affirm that the senses are not always to be relied up0n, which proposition you will readily prove from your own experience. It is not necessary to deny the physical world, nor any experience in it in order to demonstrate the truth.
