[QUOTE="Blindwatchmaker, post: 75787843, member: 433382"] This is not a valid criticism. My contention applies even to non-extreme cases. If you believe any truth claim about the world it's because the evidence has convinced you of this. I really cant believe someone as obviously intelligent as you is pushing back on such an obvious statement. What I will concede, is that belief is not binary. There are strong beliefs and those which are held more tentatively. But the predictor for this is also not volition. It's strength of evidence combined with predetermined cognitive/personal factors which are not subject to choice. [/QUOTE]
