One of the greatest abilities that living creatures on Earth possess
             is obtaining and interpreting information from our senses. As humans, we
             use our senses to gaze at the beauty of a rose garden, to listen to the
             buzzing of bees, to smell the fragrant flora, to touch and feel the velvety
             texture of the petals, and to taste the unique flavour of rose petal tea.
             Our senses are the tools that provide us with information and allow us to
             gain knowledge and experience of the world that surrounds us. But when
             should we trust our senses to give us the truth? When speaking of
             "trusting" our senses, this refers to whether we may rely on our senses as
             valid measures of our existing world. The definition of "truth" is largely
             debatable and is subject to controversy but for the purposes of this paper,
             "truth" will be defined as "a constant and universal belief". The journey
             to obtaining an absolute truth is extensive might have an end that we may
             never discover, but a heavy reliance is placed on the totality of the
             information identified from our senses and then our analysis of this
             information; thus this method has become the standard approach by which we
             obtain information because our senses are the most immediate of the
             different ways of knowing. However, many problems arise when we establish
             the truth based on our senses because our senses can be deceived and can
             misguide our interpretation of our world; thus, we can rarely fully trust
             our senses. The only circumstance when we can trust our senses to provide
             us with knowledge is when we have strong support and justification to
             backup the information received from our senses.
             Human senses can be scientifically defined as "a faculty by which
             outside stimuli are perceived"[1]. By convention, human beings possess the
             sense of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Profound dependence is
             placed on the information obtained from our senses becaus...
