Frogs only recognize moving flies as food. We don't see with our eyes; we see with our brains. Our eyes only provide information to the brain - which in turn uses experience to turn it into something with which we can relate. This explains why we respond differently to things we know (comfort, dismissal, etc.) with things we don't (fear, curiousity, etc.)

Apparently, we process information from the left side of each eye with the right side of our brain, and the right side of each eye with our brain's left side. This has been demonstrated in severe cases of epilepsy where, as treatment, the connection between the left and right side of the brain has been cut. When provided with different information for each side of both eyes, patients verbally describe what they see with the left side, and, when asked to draw what they saw, draw what they saw with the right side. This clearly shows that the left and right sides of our brains perceive things very differently, but we have provisions for relating the two types of information (we can typically say we saw something the same way we draw it), but it also opens the door to discrepancies between the two types of information.

The above talks only about vision, but is applicable to most of our senses. This indicates that our senses provide information that have more than one interpretation and/or applicability. And, as if that weren't enough, every person interprets information differently - no matter which side of the brain we talk about. This is where things get a little hairy. If we interpret the same information differently depending on which side of the brain processes it, it means that there is more than one answer to any question. "Absolute truth" is no longer tenable.
