In response to Matts comment. "How can we know any thing for certain?"

"If we talk about all of these possibilities and then say we could likely never prove one is right, then we have to accept them all as plausible. In other words, we all have to believe that no one can know anything for certain, a rule we would break if we all agreed to that sort of thinking. The quicker question is this: how do we know for certain that nothing can be known for certain? If we cannot know for certain that we can know nothing certainly, then we believe what we believe, in part, by faith, and not because we are certain that what we believe is true. Or right."





They are all plausible yes, but some have more merit than others, well in my mind they do, but maybe thats just because i dont want to accept something that is clearly quite radical and potential disturbing. 


things can be known for certain takes maths for example 


2+2=4 no matter what we do or how we twist this, this simple sum will always come out as 4, there is no getting around it. 


however there are a lot of things out there that we do not know for certain things in my ever day life for example, how many people will look at the blog today, i cant know that for certain.  
and things in science like how the universe has been formed, was it god? or was it just all fluke and coincidence? we just cant know. 


or well until one or the other is proven, if it can be proven that is... 


now let me ask you this, and i believe this is an important question, if we cant prove it, why should we believe it? 


im open to any response, weather its just a simple "have faith" i dont mind. 


i look forward to your comments. 




Thanks to Matt for his in depth comment.
