WYBINWYS (What you believe is not what you see!)

1. We often think that we will not believe in anything unless we can verify it with all our senses, especially through the visual sense. But most of the times we do not practice this in many aspects of our life:
1.1 We have not been to Africa, but we believe Africa does exists.
1.2 We study mathematics, and believe in the formulae that the teachers teach us.
1.3 A business man will send goods to the buyer upon receiving the cheque, even though he has not received the actual money. He believes in the cheque.
1.4 When we send a letter, we believe that it will reach the destination, even though we do not know the receiver.
1.5 We believed that some great people did exist in the history, even though we never see them.

2. It may be a normal practice to verify through our senses before we believe in something. But sometimes we do not even know for sure whether our senses are reliable. We are just believing our judgements are correct.

3. Some of the hypotheses were being incorporated into the textbooks, they often start with "millions of years ago..... where were you by then? Yet you firmly believe what were being taught in the school.

4. Those believe in evolution who believed that living beings are originated from a "fire cloud" billions of years ago have to believe two probabilities:
4.1 This object exists from the beginning. This object later on will come out with thinking abilities.
4.2 Materials did not exist at the beginning. Thinking exists before them. This is the very belief endorsed by those who believe in creation.

5. We all believed in somethings without prior seeing them for ourselves. But this does not mean that we can simply believe in anything. When we saw some foot prints, we believed that somebody has passed by there. If we say the footprints are formed spontaneously through time, it is believing without careful thinking.

6. God has left many footprints in this world, so that it is very hard for us not to believe in HIM.

7. God is there no matter the human beings he created believe it or not. Just like the air we breath is there no matter we believe it or not.
