I told him that we really didn't have a basis for debate because he was unprepared. Now that set him back because he loves to debate and felt sure he had an easy victory.

He is a CPA, an accountant, and I told him I would never debate him about tax law, because I had not studied all the new tax laws and was not on the same knowledge level as he. Therefore, even if I couldn't show him instantaneous hard copy proof of my topics, I didn't think he was at the same knowledge level as I was on concerning this particular subject. I have logged hours upon hours of study for over 11 months. (and I'm a newbie)

I realized that some of it is "pure gut feeling", intuition, leap of faith, and a strong belief of correlating stories told by many whistle-blowers or witnesses. I certainly don't believe everything I've heard, I feel I am discerning, but what makes us a believer?

My question to you is what is your deciding factor on which of any of these
theories are true? What makes us trust some, but not others? Belief or Skepticism?
Just to let you know- my husband is the same way - minus the debating aspect.
