How long have you been mocking dyslexia?
I'm sorry. "Diadem" and "Diagon" are not generally products of dyslexia. But I mock all sorts of things, including, and especially, discalculia, which I have, and misspelling typos, which I am prone to, and chemobrain, (which results in short term memory loss so that I had to go look up how to spell "Diagon" before I dared write it down).
It came from a book.
And works both ways. Get used to it
And thanks for confirming my statements
You guarantee? And you know nothing about me, you must be christian
No. Well, yes, I am Christian....though the majority of Christian belief systems say I'm not. What I AM is aware that EVERYBODY believes what they do mostly because someone they trust told them so.
Unless, of course, you have personally mapped out the earth so that you know your geography from something other than books written by people you trust, you have personally performed the scientific experiments to confirm your believes regarding science, That you have personally gone to see volcanoes to find out what types of lava they spout, you have personally measured the changing temperatures of the oceans to see if the globe is really warming, you have personally done the calculations to measure the distance from the sun to the earth, from the earth to the moon, and personally walked upon the surface of that moon to confirm your belief that someone actually went there and stood upon it,
Here's news, Christine: ALL of us, each and every mother's son and daughter of us, have received our beliefs and 'knowledge' of the world, scientific and philosophical, MOSTLY from people we trust, who have 'told us so."
For instance; you mentioned the "first law of thermodynamics.' How did you come to believe that this was a 'law,' anyway? Did YOU do the experiments?
Or did you learn about it from a book written by people you trust, and were you told about it by, perhaps, a teacher you trusted?
Did you do the original thinking/experimenting involved?
So no knowledge of you specifically was required here. All that was required is an understanding of how all of us get information. Unless you are unique in all the universe and have done all the original thinking for everything you believe to be true, and come up with all those concepts all by yourself, then....
You have learned the vast majority of what you 'know' because someone you trust told you so. Just like the rest of us.
And that, Christine, is faith. Which is trust. You trust what others have told you. You have faith in what they have told you. You accept those things as true, and whatever THEIR evidence may have been, YOUR evidence for belief is that....they told you so. And, as I have demonstrated, sometimes 'they' are wrong.
