The Moon

Just read the title of the article, than think about it... Here's the article it's referring to.

"At least 467 people are now known to have died in a powerful quake that struck the Indonesian island of Sumatra on Wednesday, the government says."

The number of deaths are still rising.

A question is haunting my mind at this very moment. Are we, as humans, searching knowledge in the right way? There is a philosophical current that combats our belief in dogmas (autoritive, strong belief in something), this current is called Fallibilism. As said, they battle scientific knowledge, or "Fallibilism tells us that there is no conclusive justification and no rational certainty for any of our beliefs or theses (theories)". In other words, we cannot be sure of what we know, there is always a chance of our beliefs being incorrect and totally different than we thought. Their ideal science is a science in which the scientist gives ways to prove that his theory is wrong, like Einstein did. If it isn't proven wrong over a longer time, it's made stronger. If it is proven wrong, there should be a new theory.

But my question is: is our way of searching knowledge correct? I do believe that there is knowledge to search for (if you're really sceptical you could doubt that too). But what if our ways were wrong all along?
Or is this just like the Averroists claim: there are more ways to come to the same truth?

If you are able to follow this, please leave a comment.

It is quite lengthy though and like most philosophical pieces written in no-that-easy language.
