Well true, but are you Scandinavian if you don't mind me asking?

Cool, but I am not famliar with those bands. The only Metal songs I have heard are "Bury me alive" by we are the fallen and "Nemo" by Nightwish. When it comes to the gothic stuff I listen to Evanessence.

But I know there is a lot of Norweigan Heavy/black metal bands though, have you heard of Dark throne?

Amen brother! It's just so much more exciting than other music, but yeah I lean towards the lighter side I guess.

I am sure you have!

Well a little, I am into gothic music and stuff.

Aww, I see, thats why people don't get more "reputation power" anymore and you need to give frubals to someone else before you can give it to any given user again.

Oh, okay. Well I would like to know how that went down.

Wow, you certainly have many frubals for someone who joined in 2010!

Truth can hurt, after all.

I'm well aware of the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning.
I am a science teacher after all.

Granted.
But let's get back to your point about doubt, even if I didn't quite et what you were aiming at (which ironically makes it more interesting).
I assume you weren't quite happy with my interpretation that in order to doubt something one has to be familiar with the concept that is being doubted.
I believe you might have indicated that there is something important that I've left out?

I am somewhat familiar with Jung, although I have not read the book in question.
While obviously a brilliant man, some of the more outlandish concepts have little basis in reality except perhaps as useful metaphor.
There is nothing to indicate that there is something not physical going on in the brain.
While neurology has been a subject of study for centuries, many of the actual processes were unknown until fairly recently.

*based

But that isn't correct.
Psychology IS base on physical observations, even more directly so since the influx of neurology and neuropsychology.

Maybe I'm just being incredibly dense right now, but I'm still not sure what your point is.
As I've explained in various threads on this forum, my doubt, if you like, comes from being an empiricist, which means that me being an atheist is merely a consequence of that.
Gods are no more empirically supported by evidence than faeries and ghosts, which puts them on exactly the same footing in my book.
There is no reason to believe in any of them.
There are just a lot more people who believe in gods than there are people believing in faeries, and thus it makes for a more accessible topic.

What?

Well, I guess that in order to doubt (the existence of) something, I must at least be cursory familiar with the concept if that is what you mean.

I don't see that making any sense, and even if it did, it would have absolutely no viable consequences.

Still not getting your point.

You ever try and get someone into a 1 on 1 debate? I always find it hysterical that these people who supposedly fully believe what they say won't stand up 1 on 1 to the person who challenges them. Not only do they seem to prefer being right over knowledge, they seem to only want agreement.
