Imagine if I scientists based all modern technology on stubborn adherence to vague, contradictory science texts from 2000-5500 years ago and refused to see their failure.... it would be ridiculous.

nope.
Spirit is what recognizes that it is NOT the intellect.
Just like it is Spirit that recognizes it is NOT the physical body. and NOT the emotions and not the thoughts. and NOT the bank account, career, cars, houses, boasting, and letters after the name.
all of those come and go. Spirit is aware of them coming and going. all of those things that come and go are aspects of a physical human being, which also is here and then gone. Spirit knows it is not these. Spirit knows it is not limited to a physical human existence with limited human attributes.
