Never ask why the sky is blue

A new perspective learnt,
If we are to embrace the lateral thinking of the likes of Hume, Immanuel Kant etc. we will have many different versions of Islam like what happened to certain religion.But we embrace the vertical thinking~ we just cannot question everything.Everything is not meant for us to be critical of.Something must be accepted and be memorised by heart. That's how the teaching of Islam today remains the same teaching of Islam +1400 years back. But throughout history, we can see that how mankind (especially in the west) perception towards life, or how they view knowledge is having a progressive development which its sole base is on man's critical judgements. The likes of Marx, Darwin all will undergo rejection by mankind at large.

Not everything has a holy book with the truth so in those fields, we have to rely on critical thinking.

true that there are certain things that needs to be relied on critical thinking. holy Koran says that 'ask those who are expert/knowledgeable'.. so before coming to any conclusion it is best to ask people who know better..
then it's up for you to decide using your critical mind
