[QUOTE="Clizby WampusCat, post: 75788057, member: 420857"] This topic is more complicated than this but in summary I evaluate the evidence that I am presented with or researched to see if it convinces me. I will be either convinced or not based on different standards of evidence that are in proportion to the claim. Such as if you said you own a white car, I will believe you based on that statement. I know a lot of people own a white car and if it is untrue the consequences of me knowing that false information are low. If you claim to be able to walk through solid walls then I will need more evidence than just your word for me to believe it. Also remember that a lack of belief does not equal unbelief. For example, I don't believe a god exists but that does not mean that I believe gods do not exist. I don't have good enough evidence to believe either claim. [/QUOTE]
