Believe in Innate Knowledge?

But...Don't you believe you've got an intuitive feeling or personal sense of understanding? Let me guess...You're convinced the thought of Innate Knowledge is ridiculous because if it had existed we'd all be on the same page. You wonder why there'd be so many different religious views, so many different philosophies, theories, and scientific explanations...right?

Update:

Well, that's exactly what they are! They're all "explanations" aka (words that express) the very ideas we all KNOW/FEEL AT THE CORE OF OUR BEING. It's innate, but misunderstood among communication due to differences in language and culture.

    I think it's a type of innate knowledge. What we live in our life is basically the creation of knowledge that while was understandable from the beginning of time did not yet exist.

    I wonder. Is it innate knowledge or the the nature of knowledge? Seeing knowledge is like this, the understanding you are pointing to is intelligence.

    I, actually, was born with an innate knowledge of trigonometry, world history, and post-modernist metafiction.
