Hum, let's change it then:

Everything which has colour is visible --> Everything which has no colour is invisibile.

Better?

Why do you insist on these silly word games? Do you think that if you can remove the discussion far enough away from reality you can talk God into existence?
Either you can show evidence that a God exists or you can't.
If you can then trot God's arse out here and let's all have a good look at Him.
If you can't then stop trying to decieve people...especially yourself.

Well to what point of view?

Infrared or X-ray and ultraviolet can be seen to make colours, but with the use of machines, the same with bodyheat.

Now what makes you sure that we cannot make more machines that will see even more than what we can see now?

Yeah, but we can see them because they have colour when they are represented by machines.

"Yeah, but we can see them because they have colour when they are represented by machines."

When will we make machines that can "see" the aura, as clairvoyants claim exists?

We have machines that see auras very bit as well as clairvoyants can see them.

These machines are called "bricks."

While both of those statements may be somewhat true, one does not appear to follow from the other. Instead, they both follow from the same knowledge about colour and vision.
