Man - I was actually arguing this today. Most people just take whatever they hear and accept it as the truth. I have a Educational Psych class and we were discussing Piaget's stages - in particular the last (Formal Operational) which involves actually THINKING for yourself about things. This sorta blew my mind that most people don't think. And then I got started thinking (heh) about all the stuff I just took for granted and believed - and bam. Anyway. Off the topic. Back on.
How can we possibly know anything at all? Look at the LAW of probability. Anything CAN and WILL happen eventually - no matter how irrational or slim the odds. And what we know we take as a common belief (i.e. that there is a God, that we all "die", that we stay on the ground because of gravity), but we really don't know much.
Damn. First real post in a long time on ANY board. Sorry about the rambling.
