The Role of Doubt

I was taken by a quote from Rene Descartes recently...

   "The seeker after truth must, once in the course of his life, doubt everything, as far as is possible."

I consider myself a seeker after truth and can identify with a couple of periods in my life when I wiped away all that I thought I knew and questioned it all. It's a scarey thing to do, but I do believe is necessary if you are going to seriously go after the truth without presuppositions or bias.

What do you think? What role has doubt played in your quest for truth?
