Why is it that when people don't understand something they just assume it is not real?

Question

like about God.
The NASA moon landing, Science, if people did just a little research they would understand things better. If I don't understand something I try to get info on it and make my own choice on the subject.

what do you think?

Answer 1

Because they're lazy and narrowminded. Some people dont' have any energy to do things that they don't "have" to do.

I think it comes from things like when parents paid their children for receiving "A's" on their report card. They say that's a bad thing to do because it makes children never learn about any topics other than what they really "have" to-- the things that schools force them to learn. All because they were rewarded for their grades with money, and have no incentive to read about anything else.

Thus, i would say that laziness is the culprit here.

Answer 2

I don't quite understand your question, but seems like a phenomenon interesting for me to think about.

I know the Nasa landing is real. but God, i've done enough intense research on it to lemme know it's not real.

Bare in mind the difference between: Truth vs. Fact
They are 2 different things. but people often mingle the 2.
The earth evolves around the sun is a fact. God is only a perceived reality to some but there is no concrete evidence.

Answer 3

In my opinion, some people think if they cant see it, touch it, hear it, or smell it, it does not exist.

Me, I feel it is very unintelligent to not think anything is possible. I am a Christian so I definitely believe in God, but as far as things like ghosts, and aliens, etc...we are stupid if we think we are alone in this world.
