Trying to figure out what to believe is difficult these days. The man or woman staring at you from the TV screen is speaking. Is he telling truth? Who can tell? He is reading from a prompter.
Do we believe because more sources think the same way that the fewer sources on the opposite side of this 'fact'. If numbers alone decided what is right, we would fall for all the fads, con men, politicians, and religious zealots who talk directly to God. Being asked to put our faith and trust in God has a random chance of working out.
