Reply #150: strength of belief [View All]

>I remember seeing a piece of plane in the street. That supports my belief that planes brought down the WTC.

Thank-you for your honesty.
You have a belief that the planes did it.
Belief is not based on a rational evaluation of evidence.
Rather it is a lense that affects the way you understand the world.
The believer does not let evidence or facts get in the way of their belief.
The piece of a plane you saw on the street was evidence that a plane hit a tower, not that it brought down the tower.
You persist in asking the advocates of a real investigation who they think the perpetrators are.
Maybe they don't know. They clearly are interested in finding the truth.
We don't expect police to refuse to gather evidence of a crime because they had no idea who did it.
This thread is about the collapse of building 7.
If you can watch the videos of B7's collapse and continue to believe that there is nothing wrong with the official story,
then I say you are a true believer!

>And what kind of evidence are we talking about here? Twisted metal? Pulverized concrete? Scraps of plane?

All of this evidence should have been studied carefully rather than destroyed.
The steel deserved the most careful scrutiny, since it was what supposedly succumbed to fire for the first time in the history of steel frame building fires.
