way to say it.<span style>  </span>“BECAUSE” implies a cause
and effect relationship, which is not right.<span style> 
</span>The two are simply two different ways to look at the same physically detectable

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left" align="left"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Now you are asking another good

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left" align="left"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Would you agree that something,
detectable, is responsible for the elemental redness quality you can experience?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left" align="left"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">And would you agree that the word
red (nor any other zombie knowledge) has or is the same as whatever that is?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left" align="left"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Yet, you can interpret enough
abstract symbols, (which by definition do not have redness) to represent anything you want, but only if you know how to
qualitatively interpret it back to the real thing that does have, or is
responsible for redness?</span></p>
