How do we know if China is real?
Or if space is real?
The point of these questions is to demonstrate something – that we believe things off of what we are told whether we personally experience it or not.
If we’ve never been to space or China – we better hope that the information we’re acquiring is factual and true.
Because it could be a slippery slope if we based our lives off of beliefs that we’ve heard and may not be true – whatever that may be
So where else do we believe something without even second guessing it?
And the fact is that most people (that I know) will never experience China or outer space.
