If many believe something to be true, is it then true?


Question


If many believe something to be true, is it then true?
If that is the case, then how does one explain many peoples strong feelings about God?


Answer


If many people quotbelievequot something to be true, it is still a belief.brbrYou cant reach a valid or true statement just because its widely held to be true among the population.brbrThe fallacy is called quotArgumentum ad Populumquot or quotAppeal to Popularityquot.
