How is it stupid to believe? As mere humans we truly know nothing for shure. You can't say for sure that the sun will rise tomorrow. Does that mean it's a good idea to sell your farm to get as much money as possible before plants can't grow anymore?

We have evidence that the sun exists, we have a loooooooong record of the sun rising every day.
We can even predict with certitude what time it will come up every day.
