I accept scientific proof as true as I have seen it to work in what I perceive as my life. There's also smaller standards in day to day life, where I accept something as true easier, also based on previous experience.

I suppose it's hard to say what I'm asking. Reason I ask though....

One has to consume the information, so I wouldn't say instantly.

You know something is true when the outcome is precise and consistent, through an unbiased method.

some one told me how can i believe that the world is round if i have never seen it from space or how do i know we even bn to space. i told him i use common sense. he said it was faith, i said look in a microscope and look at the satellites or the moon and sun to explain the likely hood of the earth being round. the guy was a fundamentalist.

the point is proof is subjective

How on Earth does staring at a microscope or the sun prove the Earth is round?

I go back in my time machine and see it for myself. cool

Actually, there is proof and faith.

Even science can't prove everything.
So, they have to believe some things by faith. angel

I feel comfortable in knowing that i can never truly know anything. I've also become comfortable in knowing that there are no original thoughts.I try my best to simply be as genuine as possible and to not compromise my personality in the company of others. No matter how intimidating or attractive their perspectives and presences may be. It's here that i usually find my peace and understanding. That, along with my first statement, is pretty much all i can ever know and i'm comfortable with that.
