There is a strange proposition in our society today, and that is the Idea that skepticism leads to infallible belief in scientific inquiry's objective view of reality. Skepticism is the most important aspect of the search for truth. By doubting everything, one must find not an instantaneous leaning to accept scientific inquiry as infallible, but a wary view of both our ability to reason correctly, and to see the world through perfect, infallible eyes, and also our propensity towards "magical thinking".


After choosing to doubt all knowledge, the next step is for that person not to begin scientifically evaluating things. No, the next step is to ask himself what is most important in life. Is the pursuit of Joy and happiness more important, or is the pursuit of knowledge more important? If your answer is that the pursuit of knowledge is more important, you are already on the path to destruction. Without the foundation of experience, and the basic experience of morals, ethics, longing, and spirit, the knowledge of reality becomes majorly skewed from the beginning.

Skepticism needs to be the first response. In Fact, it needs to be every response. Yet, if through skepticism, you think that the knowledge of truth leads to a system that is despair, then there is something wrong with your skeptical analysis. It is no longer skeptical for one. It is choosing to affirm the knowledge of imperfect scientists as infallible. The knowledge we have is not just fragile, it is inept when it comes to absolute truth.

To say that the truth we are finding is the best we have, and reject knowledge that is beyond our understanding, is to reject something hard-wired into our nature. A need for a personal God.
