Why do you have doubts?

Answer 1

Doubt is part of our humanity. As finite beings we should doubt.

1. We are limited in knowledge... so there are many things that we don't know.

2. We are limited in reason... so we cannot be fully confident that we have accurate conclusions based on the knowledge we do possess.

3. We are limited in experience... so we cannot exclude other options that we have no personal interaction with.

Acting as if one does not doubt is not bad either. I may sit in a chair based on the likelihood that it will support me, not the total absence of doubt about its ability to support me. To act despite doubt is faith (volitional certainty... not cognitive certainty).

To lack doubt... is not reasonable. To never have any doubt is probably madness.
