Blog # 3 Why do we believe in things are not or cannot be proven

First of all if you believe in something, then it doesn’t really have to be proven doe’s it! I think we all believe in something that we cannot prove is true. It could be true love, evolution, religion, life in space, heaven, ghosts, angels; I probably could go on and on here, I would bet that I already have mentioned something here, that ninety percent of us believe in and would argue for hours over.

It is only human nature to believe in things that cannot be proven, these topics give us hours of enjoyment debating with friends and peers over them. Most of us feel that if it cannot be proven that it doesn’t exist then it has to be true. Like my Bigfoot internet site a few weeks back, there is plenty of people that believe Bigfoot is real. I’ve heard the howling of them on tape, well then they must be real. (Kidding)

In my opinion if all of us only believed in those things that can be proven true, life would be very boring and not much fun at all. Our every day lives involves direct dialogue and beliefs with on another about topics that have not been totally proven to be true. What would we talk about or study about if we only did it with topics that have been proven. What if a topic was proven with out a shadow of a doubt, there would still be some of us that would argue it wasn’t true.

So what does being proven really mean to us? To some of us it may give us a peace of mind, to others probably not much. As I stated earlier it doesn’t matter much what is proven, cause there will always be people that will argue the findings.
