The theology of Christian Science includes a form of idealism: it teaches that all that truly exists is God and God's ideas ; that the world as it appears to the senses is a distortion of the underlying spiritual reality, a distortion that may be corrected ( both conceptually and in terms of human experience ) through a reorientation ( spiritualization ) of thought.

Observation is either an activity of a living being, such as a human, consisting of receiving knowledge of the outside world through the senses, or the recording of data using scientific instruments.

Scientific instruments were developed to magnify human powers of observation, such as weighing scales, clocks, telescopes, microscopes, thermometers, cameras, and tape recorders, and also translate into perceptible form events that are unobservable by human senses, such as indicator dyes, voltmeters, spectrometers, infrared cameras, oscilloscopes, interferometers, geiger counters, x-ray machines, and radio receivers.

Modern scientific instruments can extensively process " observations " before they are presented to the human senses, and particularly with computerized instruments, there is sometimes a question as to where in the data processing chain " observing " ends and " drawing conclusions " begins.

Radon is a colorless and odorless gas, and therefore not detectable by human senses alone.

It is invisible and not directly detectable by human senses, so instruments such as Geiger counters are usually required to detect its presence.

Red Wolf has super human strength, senses, and fighting abilities, and has a pet wolf named Lobo.

Ultimately, observations reduce to those made by the unaided human senses: sight, hearing, etc.

Because human senses differ from person to person ( due to wide variations in personal chemistry, deficiencies, inherited flaws, etc.

To further abstract from unreliable human senses and make measurements more objective, science uses measuring devices ( like spectrometers, voltmeters, interferometers, thermocouples, counters, etc.

The last three books give an atomic and materialist explanation of phenomena preoccupying human reflection, such as vision and the senses, sex and reproduction, natural forces and agriculture, the heavens, and disease.

Ionizing radiation, such as X-rays, alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays, are undetectable by the human senses, therefore a measuring device is used to detect, measure and record this, and in some cases give an alarm when a preset level is exceeded.

are converted by human observers into electrical signals in the nervous system as the senses we recognize as touch, sound, and vision.

The meaning of the word " reason " in senses such as " human reason " also overlaps to a large extent with " rationality " and the adjective of " reason " in philosophical contexts is normally " rational ", rather than " reasoned " or " reasonable ".

Illusions may occur with more of the human senses than vision, but visual illusions, optical illusions, are the most well known and understood.

Such depth could only be accomplished through imitation of the human senses, something both the panorama and The Prelude succeed at.

( Materialists do not claim that human senses or even their prosthetics can, even when collected, sense the totality of the ' universe '; simply that what they cannot collectively sense is not in any way known to us.

Into the texture of this tapestry of history and human drama Henrietta, as every artist delights to do, wove strands of her own intuitive insights into human nature and -- especially in the remarkable story of the attraction and conflict between two so disparate and fervent characters as this pair -- into the relations of men and women: `` In their relations, she was the giver and he the receiver, nay the demander.

What policies if adopted and applied in various circumstances will increase the likelihood that future events will coincide with desired events and do so at least cost in terms of all human values??

If man is actually the product of his environment and if science can discover the laws of human nature and the ways in which environment determines what people do, then someone -- a someone probably standing outside traditional systems of values -- can turn around and develop completely efficient means for controlling people.

but it becomes very important if foreign peoples react the way human beings typically do -- namely, by taking steps to end up on what appears to be the winning side.

That is why it is so very important that ethical analysis keep clear the problem of decision as to `` permitted '' effects, and not draw back in fright from any conceivable contingency or suffer paralysis of action before possibilities or probabilities unrelated, or not directly morally related, to what we can and may and must do as long as human history endures.

Biological anthropologists are interested in both human variation and in the possibility of human universals ( behaviors, ideas or concepts shared by virtually all human cultures ) They use many different methods of study, but modern population genetics, participant observation and other techniques often take anthropologists " into the field ," which means traveling to a community in its own setting, to do something called " fieldwork.

But humans can do something equally useful, in the case of certain enumerably infinite sets: They can give explicit instructions for determining the nth member of the set, for arbitrary finite n. Such instructions are to be given quite explicitly, in a form in which they could be followed by a computing machine, or by a human who is capable of carrying out only very elementary operations on symbols.

Korzybski thought that people do not have access to direct knowledge of reality ; rather they have access to perceptions and to a set of beliefs which human society has confused with direct knowledge of reality.

When the younger brother wanted to look away from the human corpses and animal carcasses scattered everywhere, Heigo forbade him to do so, instead encouraging Akira to face his fears by confronting them directly.

When human beings are dealing with new situations in the world, they are helped immensely by the fact that they know what to expect: they know what all things around them are, why they are there, what they are likely to do and so on.

Unlike some non-mammalian animals ( such as lizards that shed their tails, salamanders that can regrow many missing body parts, and hydras, flatworms, and starfish that can regrow entire bodies from small fragments ), once removed, human extremities do not grow back, unlike portions of some organs, such as the liver.

The most important is brain disease and the effects of brain damage, covered in the human brain article because the most common diseases of the human brain either do not show up in other species, or else manifest themselves in different ways.

Bromine has no known essential role in human or mammalian health, but inorganic bromine and organobromine compounds do occur naturally, and some may be of use to higher organisms in dealing with parasites.

Sebastian's ability to bring Pris back to life as a replicant introduces numerous problems: the book implies that Sebastian somehow was able to do this without realising that her original body was human.

On human nature, Boethius says that humans are essentially good and only when they give in to “ wickedness ” do they “ sink to the level of being an animal .” On justice, he says criminals are not to be abused, rather treated with sympathy and respect, using the analogy of doctor and patient to illustrate the ideal relationship between prosecutor and criminal.
