can you always trust what your eyes show you?

Everything you see in life is tinged to a certain extent with personal opinions and preferences. What appears to my senses to be beautiful might appear to yours to be ugly. From that point of view, it isn't the object that is either 'beautiful' or 'ugly' it's your personal bias that clouds your perception of seeing the object 'as is' or in its ordinary untainted state.

No. Magicians regularly show you this. None of them really claim that they perform magic. They freely admit that it is just a trick. But it is great entertainment watching them.
There are a whole load of optical effects that can make you see things.
However, there are few magicians who can get a trick past a number of high-speed cameras set with appropriate points of view.
Also, understanding the human eye, nervous system and brain lets you know how these illusions work and when you are, or might be, having one.

NO! Seeing is not believing. It is knowing for a fact. Believing is taking someones word on the facts, you trust the person there for you trust that persons statements as a reason to believe they are indeed fact.

I'll answer your first question:
Obviously the phrase "seeing is believing" is not always true(or not true at all). First of all, you can't see the wind, but you believe in it because you can feel it. If we were to follow that phrase, it's like saying that there is no wind at all, there is no gravity, and there are no electric currents, and that's completely untrue.

no, i am sure i have seen a ghost but i wont let myself believe it because if i did i would have to move house!
also you shouldn't always trust what your eyes see. take yesterdays coronation street for example. fizz thought she saw something she didn't see!

nope!
when you read a book, it might say- and the slender twig flew off from the carved oak tree or something like that, you aren't seeing that but you can picture it! you are really looking at ink on a page! it's imagination and that proves seeing isn't believing!
hope this helps!

It depends on what you see, and whether you see it a second time and whether other people see it as well and so on and so forth...

no- our human eyes can perceive things that are not real- however when you step out in faith to believe in God through Christ, you will see the truth. When you have faith it opens your eyes to so much because God reveals Himself that has faith in Him.

Of course not. I certainly hope nobody actually thinks so.
