Skepticism

? How do we know that were not really being fooled? Since there is nothing to verify what we are seeing or thinking, how do we know if any experience is valid? Again the skeptic view causes us to have doubt, leaving us not knowing. The quest for knowledge is like trying to determine the beginning of the universe, we may never know. It doesn’t help that the skeptic tries to provide reasons to doubt. So do we go by science or our own thoughts on what is real. The skeptic presumes that there is no way to get out of our brain to see if the world is how we really think it is. And that science may be revised one day. I believe that the things I do, say, and feel are all real. Even without evidence. We even take things for granted that another human already discovered or invented based upon their personal views and opinions. It’s similar to attending a Baptist church when you’ve been raised Catholic. You believe in church, God, and living your life according to rules that God, set for you to follow. Then one day you stumble into a Baptist church, you listen to the preacher and realize that everything he preaches is on his own belief. You sit there thinking this can’t be right and how can people follow something that comes from a human perspective and not from God. I realize at this point that there is a difference, but why don’t I apply this type of thought to my everyday life? I guess that’s just the way that we all live. Most of us don’t even have the time to stop and think about knowledge in the way a skeptic does. But if we did we may realize that we don’t know as much as we think we do....
