Can We See the Truth?

Can We See the Truth When it is Presented to Us?

Jean Piaget, a researcher and psychologist did an experiment that showed how we mature emotionally and psychologically. He took a group of children and using two glasses that held the same amount of water, yet one was tall and one was short. He filled the short one with water and asked the children, "Which of these two glasses holds more water?" All of the children would answer the tall one does.
He would then take the short one and pour all of the water in to the tall one showing them that they held the same amount of water. Children younger than the age of seven would stick to their idea when asked again; "Which of these glasses holds more water?" They would say that it was the tall one, even though they had just been shown differently. The children over seven would say that both glasses held the same amount of water.


How many people in the 14th century believed the earth was flat?

Could it be that we as a species have grown past our proverbial seventh year as a civilization?
