It is the case as far as you are concerned.
My or your reality is not everyones reality either. You and/or I may have the majority with us, but that doesn't mean a whole lot in my view.
What is life when when you go back to basics? Strip away
'progress' and you are left with inhabitants on a planet. How those who dwell begin to explain their own existance, begins the myths we start to live by. Math is man-made. Science is our form of understanding which is merely a replacement of a generally accepted older form of religion which no longer applies to todays perception. It does not necessarily explain anything beyond what we choose to perceive our surroundings of being.
