 I told him that we really didn't have a basis for debate because he was unprepared.  Now that set him back because he loves to debate and felt sure he had an easy victory.
 
 He is a CPA, an accountant, and I told him I would never debate him about tax law, because I had not studied all the new tax laws and was not on the same knowledge level as he.  Therefore, even if I couldn't show him instantaneous hard copy proof of my topics, I didn't think he was at the same knowledge level as I was on concerning this particular subject.  I have logged hours upon hours of study for over 11 months. (and I'm a newbie)
 
 I realized that some of it is "pure gut feeling", intuition, leap of faith, and a strong belief of correlating stories told by many whistle-blowers or witnesses. I certainly don't believe everything I've heard, I feel I am discerning, but what makes us a believer?
 
 My question to you is what is your deciding factor on which of any of these
 theories are true?  What makes us trust some, but not others? Belief or Skepticism?
 |  Just to let you know- my husband is the same way - minus the debating aspect.
