We don't believe everything the teacher says, if you visit even an elementary school you'll see students often have doubts and will question the teachers on various subjects, and if the teacher cannot provide a satisfactory answer they will try to seek out other sources. However even today, in many schools such scientific thinking gets discouraged when it comes to sensitive issues like god, and people have started rising up against that, but that is a different discussion altogether.God has been accepted as true by a large majority(say Christians) and you certainly cant disprove God's existence. Ofcourse the problem here is that you cant prove it either. Like I said, neither side holds a winning card. Currently nobody knows, only believes. My question is if there is any way to know.....
This is what I'm saying. We can either choose to believe or verify it personally. But we can't verify everything so most of what is accepted as knowledge by the individual is belief/
Now about establishing the truth from your own experience, it is fairly impossible, because when it's your experience you'd tend to get biased about it from the start. That is why we tend to accept things to be true only when it has been proven and accepted by multiple individuals, and also all attempts at disproving it and any alternate explanations have failed.
