I dont know why but they are wrong - Most peoples opinions are not just drawn from inside their own mind - Something has influenced every thought we have so an "Opinion" that is personal doesnt even really exisist in my mind anyway (and I am sure I got that idea from somewhere other then in my own head~!)

Opinions are like, er, noses (yeah, that's the ticket) ... everyone has one. And everyone has the right to have one. But there are certainly issues about which "opinions" are either right or wrong.
In issues of morality and ethics, there can be differing opinions, depending on one's personal beliefs. However, in issues of fact, there are certainly valid opinions and idiotic opinions.
If it is raining, and someone says "In my opinion, it is dry", then he is an idiot.
If, on the other hand, a person is executed for the commission of a crime and someone says "In my opinion, that execution was wrong", then they are expressing a value judgment about a moral issue, and may differ from my opinion without being either correct or incorrect.
So, if "everyone thinks that there is no such thing as a correct opinion," then everyone is an idiot.

because when it comes to opinions there is no such thing as an absolute. this is not true of facts such as the existance of God the age of the earth. these are facts which are either correct or incorrect and how you interpret it doesn't matter because there is only one truth

First you need to understand what is the difference between a fact and opinion. Then you have to understand the universal truths and relativity. After you have understood all of these then you may arrived to the conclusion that there's in not a correct opinion.

Opinions can be correct--but you can't always count on that.
An opinion is what one believes is correct--he or she may or may not be right. There are even differences of opinion in the scientific community (as well as all other communities.
Scholars disagree, and certainly philosophers and religious groups disagree greatly. Doctors disagree on what's wrong with a person.

Because an opinion is something you think. It is not a fact. A fact is something that is proven to be true and an opinion is something that an individual believes to be true but just because they believe it, it doesn't make it a fact. If you take a Logic and Reasoning Class in college, you will gain a greater understanding of the difference.

Because opinions are just that-not based on fact, but perceptions.

how is it that every single person has his own way of walking, talking, handwriting, etc..? it's the same about the way of thinking and every person is more comfortable with his own way of thinking. there are as many ideas in the world as the number of humen.
