Some of them make a convincing pretence of not knowing it.Even Christians know the above!
How would that happen? can you give an example?What if all possibilities were removed?
It would depend on the particular context, but it's not unusual for multiple people to misperceive something; our brains work in similar ways, and we tend to be suggestible.What if more than one person was involved?
One experiment faked a robbery scene for subjects and asked them to recall only the details they were sure of. If a stooge onlooker made false comments about the details, either while it was in progress or afterwards, many subjects would give those false details as things they saw - and often add extra details of their own. The false details became part of their memories of the event. People have even been given false memories of whole events that never happened - as long as they are fairly plausible and people they trust verify them. Memories are a reconstruction from fragments (which may be mistaken), not a recording. See Seven Sins of Memory.
I often misperceive things. Again, it depends on context, but if it was persistent and apparently impossible, the most likely explanation would be a hallucination. Various brain events (e.g. temporal lobe seizure) can produce vivid hallucinations, even revelatory experiences. Hallucinations are surprisingly common. That would be far more likely than that our physical understanding of the everyday world, which has been thoroughly tested, and on which all our technology relies, was completely wrong.What if it happened to YOU?
I don't follow you. Obviously, if I came to believe something significantly different from my current belief system and worldview, it would, by definition, change my belief system and world viewIf you came to believe in some kind of life after death...would that change your belief system or world view?
