Looking through a journal this week, it dawned on me that we seem to live in an "age of denial". For example, i'd wager that 90% of people on this forum belong to one or more of the following categories:

Climate Denial - those that believe that global warming either isnt real, isnt caused by humans or doesnt even matter.

Evolution Denial - those that believe that the theory of evolution is an athiest conspiracy theory to undermine religion.

Holocaust Denial - the systematic genocide of European Jews by the Nazi party is a fabrication or at the least, a massive exaggeration.

9/11 Denial - the US government either orchestrated or was complicit in the 9/11 attacks.

Theres many more like people that believe certain vaccines are witheld so that pharmacuetical companies can make more money, a popular one being that we are all being groomed by the nWo and so on.

Are denialists simply underdogs or conspiracy nuts that see themselves as fighting a corrupt elite? Is the World really this grim or are denialists driven by ideology or religious belief, where that belief takes precedence over evidence?

Should we be right to question any of the above, or does it simply slow us down from solving the bigger issues.

What really is the truth?
