Science is logic based in fact, and scientists (such as Albert Einstein in the quote) question what has come before. In order to make groundbreaking advancements, a new idea is the basis for a hypothesis, which then must proven via usually extensive experimentation.

Intuitive people also question. Based on their gut feelings – “something doesn’t feel right here” – they watch for the spaces and incongruities (the holes, as it were) in what is being presented as absolute truth. They also do their own research instead of blindly accepting what is being put in front of them. This is called having discernment and using critical thinking.

We are living in times where increasingly we’re being told that we should not question. But not questioning will keep us in a stagnant state, and possibly also an ignorant one. If it really is the truth, it will stand the test of questioning, and if it’s not the truth, ultimately it will not.

So my question is, why aren’t more people questioning being told they should not question?

There’s still time today to celebrate the arrival of May flowers (yesterday’s post) with a free copy of my ebook Our Beautiful Earth. It’s not normally free, so please take advantage of the opportunity today. Download it here.
