descartes

I understand in a way why Descartes believes that God is real, but you can't say you know god is real for certain reasons that aren't concrete proof. We just don't know if he's real or not. And I don't agree with Descartes to doubt the senses. The senses are what help us understand the world and learn from it. And if god is the great deceiver, how can we be sure anything is real? This could all be a trick by God. We truly know nothing.

  1. Kyle, I completely agree that we should not doubt our senses. Our senses are the only way we percieve the world around us. Once getting on the topic of if God is real, you also gotta ask have they ever disproved God? But then you can take it another way and say have you ever proven that God exists? It can never be known for certain, you just gotta have faith.
