Talk:Mystery:Why Do People Doubt? (view source)
Revision as of 01:34, September 16, 2008
, 01:34, September 16, 2008A mystery needs answers!
: The essay discusses a "type of" doubt. The scientific method you describe is not really an affirmative doubt, or force of doubting, but simply an open mind seeking more information. The doubt described in the essay is not an open mind seeking the truth; it is a force blocking out the truth in an illogical manner.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:49, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

==Suggested answers?==
Since the article is posed as a question, it would surely be appropriate to include a section (either in the article or perhaps the talk page) where readers can suggest ''why'' humans doubt? One suggested answer might be, for example, that it comes from a sense of self-preservation, as in, "If I chase that deer at full tilt towards that cliff, might I not myself follow the animal over the edge?" There are plenty of useful uses of doubt. [[User:BenHur|BenHur]] 21:34, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
