What if we have been asking the wrong questions that lead us to nowhere, far from proving or disproving anything beyond doubt.

The most profound questions asked always provide answers that require further questioning. And sometimes the wrong question can give us the right answer if we're paying attention enough and are receptive enough.
Here is an aside that you might find interesting:
During my years as an investigator I quickly learned that quite often how a person answered a question was more revealing than the answer they gave.
Example: I could ask some people what sign they were?
Answers might range from
"I'm a Libra with an Aries Moon and Leo Rising" or
"I haven't a clue. I don't have time for such silliness" or
"I don't believe in that witchcraft. I believe in Jesus." or
"I'm not sure. Would you know?"
Same question, different answers. Almost enough to start building profiles. But each answer, at least to the person giving it, was the right answer to them.
How's that for a little irony?

It depends on people's point of view to judge the questions. I don't think any question has been asked is wrong. No matter how ridiculous the questions may seem to some people, but these are questions need the answers to other people. The more questions one might ask, the more knowledge one might obtain..

We ask questions because of doubts. Questions could be righ or wrong but this is philosophy. Philosophy lies on criticisms however coordinates everything in the end. For after all what lies above these ideas and thoughts is the wisdom we gain.

How will we know whether the question asked is right or wrong unless asked and proven or unproven? All questions lead you somewhere, whether that is where you want to be is another matter. One person's certainty can be another person's doubt.

There are no wrong questions. The only wrong irritating question in my personal book is "why" asked repeatedly for no reason other than to annoy.

asking questions will definitely put us to somewhere, it's better to ask than to wait for answers to come
questions are not always meant or made to have answers, sometimes the more we seek for an answer, the more we discover new questions

I think that we all have been asking the right questions, it is just that the right questions have not had very convincing absolutions like in Iraq. =<)

If I didn't have doubt I would have no identity at all.
