As human beings, we justify knowledge in different ways to prove as valid.

However, the validity of some types of knowledge can be justified in two ways: acceptance of knowledge without any evidence to support the truth and acceptance of knowledge only by evidence. Knowledge, an aspect to all things that keeps everything else together, can be obtained through perception, reason, and language, and proven through. Human beings like to know. In most cases its to reach a sense of self satisfaction and in most others to brag or feel superior upon others. But in either case, one likes to be acquainted with life and its principles. More specifically human beings are selfish. They would rather know something thatll affect them positively, rather than something whose existence wont influence them in any manner. But human knowledge is limited, and only so many things can be scientifically proven and tested. So, if a person is told that there are 300 billion stars in the universe, hell hold onto that because: A) It sounds reasonable. B) Others believe it. C) And most importantly this form of knowledge is beyond his scope to test, so he believes in what hes told. At the age of 4, I was exposed to the notion that the moon followed our car when we drove. My nave self easily grasped onto that truth and accepted it without any question or argument. But when I was told not to touch the hot iron, I had to touch it to make sure. Thus explaining my theory stated earlier. The fact that a man will believe what hes to ld if its beyond his grasp or scope, but if the opportunity is present at hand to experience something personally and physically, one would mostly opt for that option. Another example is the belief in God, angels, prophets and other unseen. About 97% people in this world have a religion or believe in some higher power. Talking about myself, I was taught about Islam as a kid, and believed in it since the day of my birth. It is something I believe in with closed eyes and ears, that I have been told and deem it as the truth. We like to believe in what we are told by others since it makes us appear stronger. But if something is out of our imagination, or reach, well

easily agree to what others tell us about it, since theres no way for us to personally see it. The fact that most humans believe in God is because that they like to trust in something greater and more powerful. Something bigger compared to their diminutive selves. And a belief such as in God is something beyond a mans ability to see. So he believes in what he has been told by his parents, who were told by the forefathers and so forth. This fact also agrees with the general population, and shows consensus, thus making it all the more easier for a person to believe in it. But now, if I was told that there was an angel standing outside my door, I would scamper to see whether that was real or not. Why dont I consider that as the truth, since I do believe in angels? The answer is, albeit the fact that I believe in angels without ever having seen one; when given the opportunity of having something so close to me, something that I can personally visualize and experience, I would never let such an opportunity drift away. We like to agree to others since that make us stronger. But a fact that seems odd and whimsical and yet has the attraction of being testable is never ignored. Mainly, if one is told there is a pot of gold at his front door, his first reaction will be to go check it for himself. But if hes told that the pot of gold is in front of someones house in another country, hell believe that as well, but wont run to that persons doorstep to verify. This shows and proves my two theories. For one, that he believes in what he cannot test or check for himself and the other that he believes in something that is of no significant value to him. Like the billions of stars in the sky are not providing him with any personal gain or loss, he is content with what he is told about them. This can also conclude that to some extent that a man is a selfish being; searching solely for information thatll serve him greatly in some way or form. Information that has no real significance in ones life can be easily believed as the truth and can be the same as having no information what so ever.
