My point is you can get perfect knowledge if you can find someone who knows. If you can find a perfect authority. If you have some complicated piece of equipment in front of you you could repair it by trial and error, but if you have the service manual from the manufacturer it is so much easier. So my logic is not flawed. You are questioning the validity of the "service manuals" [The Bhagavad- gita, etc.] I have mentioned and you are quoting past examples in the history of religion. But that doesn't effect my logic. If you can find a perfect authority you can get perfect knowledge.... You may find some knowledge with science but you never know if it is correct... If you study the Vedic literatures with an open mind you will find them to be perfect sources of knowledge... But even if you don't accept them as such my logic is still fine... Thank you.
