I also really liked the pain analogy that he described. Pain to a physiologist is communication between the brain and the body. However, if he had not really experienced pain, then he would not truly know what it is. Everyone understands pain having felt it before, but not everyone knows what it truly is. That is why you need to look at both sides of the equation before solving it. We must look at something and along it in order to find out the truth.
One thing that puzzles me is where religion fits into all of this. Religion has its share of facts and experiences, however, where does faith come in? If you were describing Christianity to a pagan, they might not believe you for their own lack of faith even though you are right. This means that religion must require more than just knowledge and experience. Also, just because something has science and experience doesn’t make it right. For example, one religion might have a bit of scientifical support and experienced people, but that does not make it the right religion.
