The sin of Certainty?


"Certainty is the epistemic property of beliefs which a person has no rational grounds for doubting. One standard way of defining epistemic certainty is that a belief is certain if and only if the person holding that belief could not be mistaken in holding that belief."

Wow. I get it now. 
If we were so certain about every aspect of our beliefs, we would never have a reason to doubt. 
Doubting is good because it makes us search for answers.
Without doubt, there would never be a need to learn to trust, learn to have faith. 
That doesn't mean God wants us to doubt him, that means that He knows we will doubt him, so therefore He provides answers, so we can find them.
