Man Is the Measure #8

8. What are Abel's nine good reasons or evidence which serve as the basis of knowledge?

• Sense Perception (Ex. I know that my eyes are blue-green-gray because I can look in the mirror and see that they are this color.) 
• Logic (Ex. I know that raising any number to the power of -1 will be 0 because I can prove this fact.) 
• Intuition (Ex. I know that I should not cheat on an exam because my intuition tells me so.) 
• Self-awareness (Ex. I know that I am tired because I just heard myself yawn.) 
• Memory (Ex. I know that I went up to Cambridge on Saturday for a journalism conference at Harvard because I remember it.) 
• Authority (Ex. I know that tanning beds can cause skin cancer because the studies conducted by experts say so.) 
• Consensus gentium (criteria of truth) (Ex. I know that it is unlucky for a groom to see his bride before their wedding because people say so.) 
• Revelation (Ex: Noah from the Bible knew that there would be a great flood because God told him there would be.) 
• Faith (Ex. Practicing Christians & Catholics believe that they will go to heaven if they act as they are instructed to by God because they have faith.)
