When we do a critical evaluation, as we are not aware of the wholeness of a problem, when we proceed in a path that we think right, there is a 50% chance for success. But if we become doubtful and do not proceed with 100% application, whatever the path there is almost 100% chance for failure. So don't you think Critical Thinking is good only in the beginning, before start. Afterwards Complete Surrender to the Ideal is the best policy to pursue? Otherwise don't you think one may not reach anywhere in Life, if he is always in the Critical Evaluation and Judgemental Mode in Life ? Don't you think there are a lot of things in Life which are required to be blindly followed through imagination and tested ?
Don't you think all those new discoveries are done by people who blindly followed some ideals with their faith and imaginations? Don't you think, all those people who had made a difference in History were somewhat blind followers of some ideals? Even then why so much thrust on Crit.Th.?

Complete surrender to the Will of the One True God is the best policy.
But its accomplishment strictly requires conscious knowledge, sacrificial action, and even divine guidance. In fact, great contributors to the progress of mankind are people who sacrify their all in their Ideal, and never the calculators!

Communism is an Ideal, Nazism is an ideal, White Power is an Ideal. Jihad is an Ideal. All are Ideals to the people that Blindly follow them. There is no such thing as too much critical thinking.

We all have to receive some form of assurance of what we believe in.The peace we receive when we are born again and the change that takes place provides us with a certain amount of evidence.Many times the new testament provided men evidence through the out pouring of the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues,through miracles and healing.These things are still evident today amongst His elect.Yet there are times that the Holy Ghost will move us to do things that we are not able to understand at the time.When this takes place you had better be acquainted with His voice lest you find yourself being deceived.

No. One should always be willing to make adjustments based on new evidence. Blindly following an ideal is silly when you can instead pursue the ideal with open eyes and agility.

Yes, If it is based on TRUTH. The truth cannot be changed by opinion, the truth is the truth and that's the truth isn't it.
