So, LOL, if ‘this one’ was around when ‘the one’ who was explaining and presenting ‘the proof’ that the earth revolves around the sun and not the other way around as the others were believing was the absolute truth, then ‘this one’ would be telling ‘that one’ that it would reject what ‘that one’ was saying because it believed, absolutely, otherwise, because ‘the one’ was so-called “far too certain about its beliefs or claims”.
LOL you make me laugh “acltalls”. When one claims to have ‘the proof’ you will not look at it, and just instantly reject it, because ‘they’ are far too certain about ‘their claims’ for you.
Which, in all Honesty, is absolutely ridiculous. But, it explains and shows, perfectly, why ‘these people’ took so, so long to ‘catch up’.
Imagine choosing to ‘believe otherwise’ just because another appears ‘far too certain’.
I have heard a lot of ‘excuses’ for why people choose to believe things that are completely untrue, but this one is a new one for me here.
Anyone I have ever known to be genuinely correct about something at least engages with a topic with the understanding that they could be wrong because our beliefs tend to be as strong as they can be with our given information, but there could always be more information that is obtained.
But, ‘we’ are not discussing something I am necessarily wanting to learn, understand, or know more about.
Have you forgotten that I am ‘the one’ making ‘the claim’ because I claim to have ‘the proof’?
Why would ‘I’, like ‘the one’, claiming to KNOW that the earth revolves around the sun, want to have some sort of understanding that ‘we’ could be wrong, when ‘we’ say and claim that ‘we’ already have the ‘irrefutable proof’ for ‘our claims’?
Any young person that claims to know the answer to the truth of the universe just sounds like they are pretentious and egotistical.
Why only ‘young people’?
