belief/conclusion without a means to experiment...

and just because i disagree with your sentence doesn't mean i didn't understand what you said, c'mon

Clearly you didn't. Because what I said was conclusion without justification is valid method of holding a belief - because a belief need not be rational or justified.

we need to be constantly redefining our definitions, it is a process of mental evolution. if we believe we are 'right' now we end up with books of definitions that have not been updated for 2000+ years.

im not that would be indoctrination, we need to have our own sets of definitions and update them personally on a regular basis.. debate is a good way to evolve like that i find.

If everyone has his own definitions then no one would understand what everyone else is talking about.

if we all had the same definitions we would have nothing to talk about.
