Thinking about "Doubt"
The fundamental doubt for me, and perhaps for many people, has been the existence of God.
For myself, I formed that question like this.
We exist - we are created - there is a creator.
Does that creator have intellect and will (desire)?
In another words: Are we dealing the laws of physics without will (desire) and without intellect? To pretend that this question does not lie at the heart of doubt would be a mistake.
It is not possible the argue this question. We can not prove nor disprove that a great intellect desired, planned and set forth the universe. That a great intellect with the desire to see the explosion of the Big Bang and the formation of stars and galaxies.
So where did that lead me?
I have reasoned that it takes intellect and the desire to learn and understand the universe, therefore it must have taken intellect and desire to create the universe.
I have also reasoned that I may be wrong but I have chosen my path leading to faith that affirms a purpose and a joy for life.
