A question based on a book about this. Is there anything that you really think must be true but have no way of proving? For example, if you truly believe that there's life after death yet you cannot prove it to be true?
I belive that humanity got to be this civilised because we had some outside intervention from extraterrestrial beeings.
I truly believe that there is no such thing as a god, ghosts, witches, hobgoblins, fairies, or anything supernatural.
its called faith ,..really hard to prove and believe in but true all the same not sure like the concept perhaps inherited it or its in my genes or just wishful thinking sure we all need something to believe in faith easy perhaps .
That very few people have known the depths of loneliness I've lived with all my life.
That the existence of others isn't just a manifestation of my overactive subconscious. I know Descartes' arguments against this but that however relies too heavily upon the existence of a 'god' figure.
I believe I shall be here tomorrow .
I believe I was not made by chance or natural selection.
I believe I have a soul that outlives the body
I believe I have a duty to make the best of my life
I believe God lived and died for me simply because he loves each individual by name.
If this is the situation then a belief has been formed by eliminating all others possible believes and finally to reach the best possible explanation of something that might be here in the mind but without the support of any simple rational explanation.
First of all, why the question of a life after death comes into the mind at the first place? Let us analyse the situation and see how rational is our belief in the life hereafter that we can neither prove to be true, or disprove. There cannot be any doubt that there is life, and that there is physical death, as this is all too common in our observation, and that life is a kind of journey through the mind as it is through time, and death a abrupt end to all that is physically known about life.
If there is life and death, and the things that constantly change and transform to become something else, and the ideas of knowledge that develops in the mind, this therefore is also a possibility that there is in one way or the other there is a continuation to life, i.e. life does not end at the time of our physical death, and it goes on, may be in some other world.
If we do not allow this possibility in our mind then there is no way to fulfil the gape left in our understanding due to our inability to see things beyond material means, which is against the nature of the mind, as it like water, likes stay perfectly level in its understanding never allowing gaps or rifts to take place within the body of its contentment.
I think the proof of life beyond death is the life that we have and the way our mind functions. There is no direct way to see if what we believe is in fact true, but at the same time there is no other way to understand life in its entirety, without believe the nagging question of life after death will always remain, and this to me is a proof realistic or rational enough. Why is there the question? If there undeniably is, then what is the best answer?
It depends what you mean by 'prove'. I don't 'believe' there is life after death, I *know* there is, because of out of body experiences that I have had. But I can't prove it to anyone else, even though I know it is true.
yes. death is true. i believe it...hard to face the fact that we will all follow that path.
the fact that there is a Day of Judgement...it is written in all the Holy books and explained in the Quran wonderfully. the Holy books are proof.
i believe in happiness, but cannot prove it for more than a day.
Karma I believe it but feel I don't really see it with others sometimes, but hey it's for the person to feel go through it right?.
I believe everything happens for a reason. But most times we can't prove it. Especially disasters, we can't come up with a reasonable explanation for them... but I'm of a firm belief that everything has a reason behind it. I think that's the beauty of it, though.. that we may not always discover the WHY of the situation. It makes life worth living.
I believe in axioms of thought that cannot be proven.
For instance I exist. I can't prove it - I can't create a deductive argument to demonstrate it - but I also cannot deny it without contradicting myself.
Me: "I don't exist"
You: "Then how are you telling me you don't exist if you don't exist?"
That there is more to music than just sound ...
I believe that there's an underlying reason for everything, but am unsure exactly what that is
I believe in myself......or do I?
Almost everything i believe is unprovable and the same is true for everyone else.
nothing can be proved.
I truly believe my wife loves me, but I don't know how you could "prove" such a fact. I also believe that there is a God and that He loves me as well, but that isn't something that is subject to scientific or legal proof.
Everything that I believe.
