I observe the sun rising and falling in the sky.
Scientists and teachers tell me that the sun is actually NOT moving, but
that it is in fact the Earth that is moving around the sun. They provide
reams of evidence to back this up, but it is challenging material.
Who should I believe?

I observe myself to be human like everyone else.
Scientists and teachers tell me that I am a member of an inferior and
inherently corrupt race, that I will therefore amount to no good, and
that I deserve to be either enslaved or exterminated. They provide no
satisfactory evidence, but they are supported by many powerful, admired,
and respected people.
Who should I believe?

It's not easy using your brain all the time, is it?
