Argument from ignorance [0], not ignorance per se. And as far as axioms, sure you can believe anything, but that doesn't not make them necessarily true in reality. I could believe that the earth is governed by an infallible, omnipotent Flying Spaghetti Monster but that doesn't mean His Noodliness exists.

- mensetmanusman 3y agoIt can be confusing when discussing knowable truth with unknowable truth. :)
- satvikpendem 3y agoUnknowable truth is an oxymoron which is why I prefer to deal with the knowable.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoThere is an entire area of mathematics devoted to unknowable truths ;)
- satvikpendem 3y agoSure, I'm talking about the physical world however.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoThe physical world follows laws that are arguably unknowable (but true, as in there), and it has a history that is arguably unknowable (but true, as in it happened).
