a different story. Some atheists have said that they "know" there is no god or deity. Knowing signifies absolute rejection of any other possibility. Therefore, if it cannot be empirically verified (sensed), it cannot exist. That is definitely restricting thought to "inside the box."

And "constant referral to the five senses seems to be a very dated in terms of modern science" - how so?

The five recognized senses, which enable us to objectively interpret the physical world around us are still recognized as the standard. Even though other "senses" are theorized or recognized, they are less defined.

If you are going to say that the 5 senses are outdated, then you can hardly discount those who recognize a sense of spiritual existence, or even senses that might pickup on others' brainwaves, etc.

The five recognized human senses are still the standard.

In different animals we have recognized that other senses do exist. Do those same senses exist in humans? Maybe.
