Clifford’s Duty of Inquiry

1. People use their energy of belief credulously due to lack of research.
2. People who don’t look for outside information can become credulous.
3. C. Lack of information can makes you credulous.

Clifford’s argument is sound and does have validity because in both the examples he had given he demonstrated that lack of knowledge can lead to making bad decisions or manifest circumstances that lean toward the negative side. We all have made bad decision’s based on lack of knowledge because after that mistake you have the knowledge not to make that decision again. If you had the knowledge before you made that decision you wouldn’t have made it. The practical significance of gaining knowledge is more than just being “smart” but it helps empower yourself and also protect you from manifesting circumstances we don’t want and start manifesting circumstances we do want. Once you come across truthful information you attach to it and desire to look for more. This is what makes you hold on to it so when someone comes to you with insignificant evidence you are not so credulous and are now able to see through what is being presented to you and not be blinded by their light.
