"I am wondering if you do believe in anything you cannot see with your
physical eyes."

I'm not sure how this question touches on my post, but I'll answer it.

Yes: Atoms, neutrinos, magnetic fields, black holes.

Also: love, humanity, compassion, humility, rationality.

In other words: things that have observable effects, that cohere with the structure of the observable world, and that accurately describe and elucidate (or are reliable aids to such description/elucidation) the human lifeworld.

P.S. I do not believe in the existence of anything merely because it might somehow make human life seem more gratifying. Truth, I take it, is not a matter of taste; reality is not supposed to be therapeutic.
