Since realising that I had been gullible, and swallowed much of the teaching of the WT/JW's all my life without analysis, I have decided that I will try and gather all the evidence I can on important issues , so as to make the very best decisions.
Such evidence needs to be of the kind that would satisfy a "Jury" made up of sceptical and skilled, informed people , anything less is simply not good enough to base ones world-view on, and certainly not good enough to base ones decisions on.
I do not belittle areas of debate and of research that are not purely scientific, we explore our own feelings for instance, not something we can have peer reviewed ! We, and others, may think about many philosophical questions, or possibilities for discovery in the future, none of this is "fact", but to a degree may shape my/your worldview.
Just take the concept that our known physical Universe is not "all there is", there are many other possibilities, multi-verses etc etc, as I do not discount these possibilities, they do shape my view, not just of the world , but of the Universe.
And yet they are not "Scientific" in any way, they cannot be tested, but much of where we are today has come from such thinking, by people like Einstein and later Stephen Hawking etc
What would "trump" my view on matters ? certainly not the Bible (discredited as "Authority" for me) or any man made scripture,and certainly not just the view of one person, even be he/she an Einstein or a Marie Curie, I need something solid to base lifes actions on.
