[QUOTE="doubtingmerle, post: 76832447, member: 6687"] Because that is the way humans communicate--with language. Objective reality exists. There are real things that are following real laws of nature. You and I (and AV1611VET and others) observe that reality. Being humans, we like to talk about what we observe. The primary means of doing that is by using language, by using words. And yes, language is limited. But humans find a way to use it and to communicate with others. All the words in the dictionary are defined with other words. And all those words are defined by still other words that are defined by still other words. But, no matter where you start, you always loop back around to find that the definition of words end up in an endless loop, such as A is defined with B, that is defined with C, that is defined with A, ad infinitum. But in spite of its limits, we still make language work. You cannot get from "Our language cannot express everything precisely" to "therefore reality does not exist." [/QUOTE]
