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)

==Blindness==
Aschlafly, people who regain their sight after a period of blindness do not "doubt" they can see again (as you stated above). Its because the brain, after losing sight, uses other methods to navigate the world (hearing being the big one) and when sight is regained people have relearn to navigate with sight again as the brains forgets how. Just to clarify. [[User:JonoP|JonoP]] 21:29, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
