I would start by presenting the panel with a problem: A young man‚ brought up in a religious family‚ studies a science‚ and as a result he comes to doubt – and perhaps later to disbelieve in – his father’s God. Now‚ this is not an isolated example; it happens time and time again. Although I have no statistics on this‚ I believe that many scientists – in fact‚ I

“that are many other matters concerning which one simply cannot doubt‚ even though they are derived from the very same senses.” That which primarily I thought conflicting‚ I now‚ after further reading‚ think is just an attempt of Descartes in finding a clarification for the skepticism as he does throughout the whole first meditation. Like in the example just showed before‚ Descartes seems to always use reasoning in justifying his doubts and I think this gives more credibility to what he is saying

He casts doubt upon all his previous beliefs‚ including "matters which are not entirely certain and indubitable [and] those which appear to be manifestly false." (Descartes‚ p.75‚ par.3) Once Descartes clears away all beliefs that can be called into doubt‚ he can then build a strong base for all true knowledge to stand upon.

statement "I think‚ therefore I am" cannot be doubted. Descartes felt that that the power of thinking or sensing has nothing to do with the physical body.
