Nothing is certain except death and taxes.

What happens after death is the only aspect that is uncertain. But if you ask a christian, s/he will be most certain of what happens after the soul leaves the body.

I'd prefer to say & believe that all life events are inevitable, not uncertain. If we go by the thought that "all things are uncertain" then we may end up with a gloomy mindset and perhaps tend to develop a self-destructive tendency.

Nope, not ALL but some. It is certain that the sun will rise tomorrow morning in the east, we can be pretty sure of that. We can't predict the future though so the events that will occur is uncertain.

I think you mean "most things are uncertain".

All things are not uncertain. This is proved by one certainty. Here's one such certainty: "It would be incorrect to say it's certain that all things are uncertain."

I am certain that things are certainly uncertain and with even with a certain amount of concentrated effort it is certain that we shall never succumb to utter certainty...of that I am certain.

if all things are uncertain your question is also uncertain so it is uncertain that all things are uncertain except the existence of god and death

Perhaps this is a certainty ---
That it is - "certain that all things are uncertain". . . BUT

The 2 things that are NOT uncertain are:

Death, and tax liability

if all things are uncertain then it's not certain that everything is uncertain.

Heisenberg seemed to think so.
The closer one looks at something the more uncertain one is as to the facts.

the only thing certain is death. life ends up to death. so life itself is uncertain.

almost everything is uncertain...and that's good about our life...if we were certain about what happens next,then we would lose the desire to know the unknown...it's hard to explain....and maybe you already know that
