All of us blindly believe our beliefs are ALWAYS correct.
How to define correctness?
Metrics for probability for corrects:
Probability for our belief to be true - 20%
If others also admits our belief - 25%
Scientifically Proven - 55%.
Centuries ago Catholics believed Earth is flat. This was believed to be true until one proved otherwise scientifically.
As science is always evolving we can never attribute 100% to whatever we know till date. There will be more things to be added and few deletions to be made to the present knowledge base as science discover new things. However science can predict things with maximum (55%) surety.
