    "Christians/ Atheists/ fence dwellers ..."

    You have included Christians why not other myth believers?

    "do (sic) we see because light is reflected from an object ..."

    We see light when light hits the photoreceptor cells (cones and rods) in our retina. The light may have reflected off an object but may also have passed through it.

    "... how comes (sic) we are also able to see darkness?"

    You cannot, and do not, see darkness. Darkness is the result of not seeing. Black or darkness is your brains interpretation of the absence of light. We can only perceive forms of energy. We can see light, hear sound and feel heat. We cannot see dark, hear silence or feel cold. Dark, silence and cold are descriptions for the absence of something and not something we can sense.

    Ha ha ha Stevan, today you protect fellow atheists like it's your business. Free the people, let them answer this religious question and fail like you did.

  • i think you are in the wrong place to ask scientific questions. If you use religious people's answers in your homework. You will fail miserably
