A thinking person should hold beliefs and faith while remaining open minded to modify those beliefs and faith when so enlightened.

I believe in the objective truths that have been proven by the scientific method. Many issues relating to our life here on earth have been proven.
But much does remain unknown. As to what is unknown, I accept those as unknown at this time, but am open to convincing. And I remain open to convincing by any method. The scientific method would work. But it is possible I could receive "divine inspiration" and believe based on that. It hasn't happened, but I can't rule it out, because I can't predict the future.
