We are human and cannot possibly know what God knows.  Do I believe things he has done?  Yes.  Can I with certainty explain how it was done? No.  I don't necessarily think it's doubt, I just think it's being unaware.  The longer you have a relationship with God, the more you will come to understand.  He will make some things clearer so that His will can be done.  We are his servants.  So in some ways I agree with you but I don't like the use of the word doubt, that makes me think of being unfaithful.  I see it more as being in the dark, not able to understand.  He is God, our Creator.  We are merely human.

This is used in the Arabic language as a stress on the certainty of the issue. God knows what is going to happen, and His knowledge is beyond he boundaries of time, so for Him these are facts. An example of this language usage is when I say that we are all dead, since there is no doubt that every human being is going to die.\n\n**Check surat Al-mu'minoon (ch.23) from verse 99 forward. There is no coming back.

I will usually play devil's advocate if I see someone being blindly optimistic, even if I actually happen to agree with the point of view.\nI don't consider it a NEED to be negative but, a need to be objective.\nBlind optimism is just as bad as blind pessimism, and I'll argue a point either way if I feel the proposed idea isn't thouroughly represented in both the pro and the con.

"Think about it, you have to acknowledge that there is a god (higher power) for you not to believe in, right? In that case, wouldn't you be agnostic?"\nTHAT MAKES NO SENSE, SHOULD I SAY: I DON'T BELIEVE THAT GOD EXISTS, IS THAT BETTER?

I think it's means that in order to have an opinion about something, you have to know what you're talking about first.  For example, ask someone if they like a certain poltician.  Make sure it's one they know, even use President Bush if you have to.  A lot of people will give you a clear-cut yes or no answer.  Ask them why, and listen to all of the bogus excuses that most people will give you.  It's quite interesting to see how stupid and dishonest some people really are.

I like the spirit of your philosophy, but as to the exact wording, it seems backwards to me. Try this: We don't know how, but faith allows us to know that everything is going to work out, somehow. Faith is a way of knowing, we can not know everything, but we can understand almost everything if we know the subject matter. More and more facts are coming to light for us everyday that we live if we live in faith, with one small exception. Death always catches us flatfooted. Unless, we are very old and or very wise and courious, and ready to find out.

I think that this is probably a variation on a quote that I have heard attributed to Mark Twain and Abe Lincoln. I found it also credited to Samuel Johnson. Samuel Johnson died before Abe and Twain were born, so I give him credit. The quote is as follows...."It is better to remain silent and thought a fool, than open one's mouth and remove all doubt."\n\nIn other words....keep em guessing.

A fact is that the world is round (it can be proved). An opinion is the world is flat (a statement that can be proved wrong).

I do not know about juris prudence, but quid pro quo is also used in the business world as well. It means "something for something," a common concept in the business world.

"Ignorance is Bliss" is a reference to not knowing something that will cause you pain if you did. Example: Someone might be happy with their relationship until they found out their significant other was cheating on them.\nThis saying has nothing to do with the human's thirst for knowledge.

Simply put, it's an appeal to another person's pity in order to win an argument. Most common examples are "Have you no heart?" or "Don't you feel pity towards them if you insist on blah-blah-blah?" or when you're arguing with someone, and that someone starts crying (so you give in). It's a fallacy to use such an argument in a serious, formal debate.

It's easy, no one can dispute the fact that I don't know something when I in fact don't. Admitting you do not know a thing when you don't is the highest form of truth there is. Assumption of truth with out proof is irrational.

It is a manner of thinking for  example: If I do this, this will result, and people with think it is wrong. But if I do this, this will result and other people with think it is right. That  is kinda where the term sitting on the fence came from. One hand your right the other hand you are wrong.

Actually, to say "You know better," implies that they could make a better choice than the one they're considering.\n\nThe proper thing to say is, "You know best."
