    But you do have to believe though. If you are just a brain in a jar, then all your empirical evidences are just illusions. At the very least you have to have faith that that’s not the case.

      Not knowing the answer to something isn’t a belief problem, it’s an ignorance problem.

      For millenia we were ignorant regarding the relationship between the sun and the earth. That didn’t make cosmology a belief system. We were just wrong.

      Faith is not the source of science.
