How can a person who is born blind know that there's a moon?

They get told?

How did you, who was not born blind, know what to call the bright light that shines at night. We all learn from someone else's knowledge.

They can't any more than they could know what red looks like.

You can tell the blind person what it does, but you cannot tell them what it is -- exactly. The eye operates in the realm of the 5 senses. This problem lies beyond those senses.

How is this related to R&S section? -- other than 1 could answer "by faith" ?

Faith is another way of saying: "Trust what they have been taught/told by someone they trust." -- which is 1 way we can know something. Not by our OWN experience, but by believing in the experiences of others.

Ways in which we can KNOW something:

- sense perception

- inductive reasoning

- deductive reasoning

- emotion

- language

- faith/trust

Some may include imagination and memory - but classically those latter 2 were not considered sources of knowledge.

Those who can see share that knowledge with the blind person.

The same way people without a microscope can learn about germs or dna or other stuff they can't see-- you get educated (books, school, etc.).

We have five spiritual senses like we have five physical senses. The eyes are just leneses to the physical realm.

Well, on a moonlit night, the sighted people don't bump into him as much...

he can't. he can't be really sure of reality

well, i have heard testimonies of the blind having out of body experiences, some describe seeing Jesus, ive also heard that some people see the deity of their traditions, but then again, i have heard that there are those with non christian traditions who see Jesus. one blind woman did see and testify what she saw, if you want to search for more info, try looking up Jeffery Long who studied NDEs
