Are extremely unpopular views way more likely to be wrong?


Jason

Recommended Posts

My view in theology is a type of universalism believed in the early church.  However, it's not been popular since that time.    In fact, it comes across as being an unbeliever to fundamentalist Catholics or Protestants.   Anyway, taking a note from Noah's Flood, something where fundementalists claim nearly all people justly were drowned, we see, however, that the majority cannot always dictate what is right and wrong.

On the one hand, the popularity of a given view has no bearing on whether it's right or wrong: to argue that it does is a logical fallacy. 

On the other hand, there's often a reason why extremely unpopular views are so unpopular. Sometimes, it'll be due to a lack of supporting evidence, or a large amount of contrary evidence... naturally, such views are more likely to be wrong than popular views whose popularity comes from a large body of supporting evidence.

Pretty much this. Outside of things that are just personal preference, a lot of the “popular” opinions are based on more concrete evidence, and a lot of the “unpopular” opinions are based off less than savory evidence.

For example, in regards to medical advice, I’d take the word from a doctor than say a blog written by some random person. The doctor has credentials for their profession, but for the blogger, who the hell is that person?

Credibility is important.  In that case, I would want to study the original meaning of words in the Bible and, also, I want to see how everything fits and in this case, the doctrines of free-will and no-free-will work out perfect under universalism.
