    What do you think about launching a challenge and everyone says a sentence or something that no one can go against it?

    I think there is no such thing in human life. Because anything that a person strongly believes in, can be violated by thinking more and giving some other conflicting reasons.

    Guys, I think this time-related comment:
    prompted this time-related answer:
    Has there not been a slight misunderstanding of words on the interwebs?
    I know it would be a first, but...

    Just bringing those lovely classic 'logical conundrum' examples into the context of the question...

    "This statement can be opposed"
    go on - try to oppose it :)

    The philosopher's classic is Descartes' "Cogito, ergo Sum" - "I think therefore I am"

    Not to be stupidly confused with believing that thinking causes you to exist!

    Interpret as "Given that I'm thinking, I obviously must exist"
    It's meant to establish that 'everything else' is in principle subject to doubt (no matter how small that doubt).
    (even if you're a prisoner in the matrix and everything is false - you're still thinking)

    Modern update (from philosophy and cognitive psychology) would regard the "I' as just more doubtable superfluous baggage.

    So reduce it to "Thoughts exist"
    and then you're still left with a bloody huge problem of providing a robust explanation of what 'exists' means.
