If you think about it, the greying of hair is also inductively reasoned, but rather than the hair's property staying the same, in the way that a wood fire will be hot, we can induce hair colour will change based on experience of the past.

Yeah, I agree on the hair color thing.
But beyond covering it well, how do we proceed with "knowing" anything? It seems to shake the core of knowledge. And *knowing* is part of everyday life (not to mention college/academic/scientific life, which is part of my plans).

the fact that we believe in it so deeply is part of the cage that binds us.
But it was said 'faith can move mountains'
And I will note, one book said there would come a day to come when the lot of men would be so bad, they would WISH to kill themselves to remove themselves from the situation they found themselves in.... and suddenly would find themselves without a path to death. Something that is normally trivial to do would become impossible.

This clip helped me think about this thread. Still an open question, but nice to see others see my point of view.

Personally, I haven't seen enough statues to be able to make the observation that 'no statue has cried therefore none will'. I'm in the same situation as the friend who heard of a miracle... I've simply been told what is what.

For that matter, even being told that there are any statues that I haven't seen is questionable, because, quite simply, I haven't seen them. Again, I'm relying on what I was 'told' even to be able to make the claim I made above.
So, if I am going to question what I am told I am in the same boat as he was... that people make mistakes and therefore what I was told may be wrong as opposed to what I observe.
What I am saying is if I am going to go PURELY by what I observe and NOT by what other people tell me exists, I am likely to come to some very interesting conclusions. And THAT is where science as we know it falls apart.

Gray Hair Sign Of Good Health?
http://www.nbcnews.com/health/gray-h...tion-6C9802771
..."Though gray hair isn't always a welcome sign of aging, there's some evidence that suggests it can be an indicator of good health. Researchers in 2012 found that wild boars with significant graying hair "were actually those in prime condition and with the lowest levels of oxidative damage," researcher Ismael Galván of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Spain said in a statement.
..."Far from being a sign of age-related decline, hair graying seems to indicate good condition in wild boars," Galván said."....
