“The primary reason is that seismic waves don’t indicate the presence of a large liquid layer beneath the crust. If there were an ocean-like layer under the plates, we would expect clear seismic wave disruptions, but we don’t see this.”
- These are the same type of arguments based on mundane understanding (sañjānāti and vijānāti).
- It is best to spend time understanding that the basis of “modern science” is sañjānāti and vijānāti. I devote my time to Buddha’s teachings based on pajānāti, the true nature.
- I have no more comments on this subject. We have more important things to discuss. The point is that if the foundation is not solid, there is no point trying to “fix” (or “patch up”) the building built on that foundation. All mundane (including scientific) knowledge is based on “distorted saññā.” Time is better spent understanding how “distorted saññā” arises and its profound implications. Of course, it is not easy. It is a different paradigm. Even a few of my close friends don’t believe that and I no longer argue with them. I tried for years. Most are too focused on their “scientific work” and pay no attention to Buddha’s teachings; they don’t even have the time to “take a look.”
