The Measure of Belief

"No fact in science is accepted, no law is established, unless it can be exactly measured and quantified." — X

We all have ways of validating our beliefs and belief systems, shaping our actions based on what we are told.

For instance, in my house, we cannot stand cobwebs. As children, we were taught that cobwebs prevent our prayers from reaching God. Naturally, every six-year-old wants their prayers to reach God, so you wouldn’t find a single cobweb in the house. And when that six-year-old grows into a thirty-year-old, they still cannot stand the sight of cobwebs.

In this case, the belief about cobwebs blocking prayers becomes the foundation upon which that child's perception is built. It becomes their standard, the scale upon which they weigh reality.

However, science operates differently. Nothing is accepted as truth unless it undergoes rigorous testing, verification, and validation. A claim must be proven before it becomes a theory or law. Facts must be measurable, reproducible and grounded in evidence.

Dearest reader, what quantifies your belief system? Is it tested, proven, and rooted in truth, or is it merely speculation passed down unquestioned
