many people in this country have an easy, "meaningless" , and largely empty life in which they do whatever they want and nobody can tell them theyre wrong like children...so they project and think that everyone else's life must be like theirs

[Aphex217Twin]

you don't have to know what truth is in order to know something isn't true. For example is somebody said to me that 879,983 timex 346,987 is -2

then I would know they're wrong even though i don't know what the correct (true) answer is.

[JungleJargon]

All scientific "truth" is relative to the function of time and space ...and subject to change. God's word is the only eternal absolute truth.

Absolute truth is that only our Maker is able to be our Savior because no one else can be. His word makes sense.

Ordered functions in life forms prove there is a Maker. The fabric of time and space has ordered functions that require an eternal Maker not made of matter that He stretched out.

Mutations can only change existing orders, not order anything.

This guy know's how to play with words. How ever we live in a world that needs facts screw truth what about hard facts. Just because a book says all sorts of stuff doesn't mean its true. if i read harry potter is it true?

This is a way of jumping around any arguments of fact. In stead of answering a question straight forward they dodge around it such as christians and all people of faith

@gklr Calm down; let me explain it using a simple argument. You said truth needs proof to be true.

1. Proofs are discovered, not created.

2. The proof of "1 + 1 = 2" always existed

3. The truth, "1 + 1 = 2", always existed

Therefore, absolute truth exists.

@ncello740 No one claim that the idea of absolute truth proves the bible. This is a critique of relativism and scepticism. So your comment is quite irrelevant.

[ncello740]

Go ahead and be skeptical of skepticism, i see nothing wrong with that. Proving whether or not absolute truth exists still doesn't necessarily prove that the bible is true. It could just prove the bible is absolutely false.

@jetset808,

Quine proved that tautologous truths are not material things. Logic is metaphysical, as is language.

I will paraphrase him:

The number of NFL teams is 32 is true

32 is greater than 31, is necessarily true

therefore

It is necessarily true that the number of NFL teams is greater than 31.... which is false. There were no NFL teams when the NFL didn't exist.

How does T and T resolve F?

The number of NFL teams is contingent on their being 32 NFL teams, not necessary.

@gklr " Observing things is how we verify an empirical truth." yeah thats what i mean ... so if i keep saying to myself hey i'm here and have memory of doing that theres nothing possibly subjective about that? how do i know it's not a false memory?

[jetset808]

@gklr ok so cuz you don't consider that a holograph thinks? no holographic people exist so how would you know what fictional people would do or could do.. it's called AI by the way.. artificial intelligence .... they would be a real holograph but if they thought they were a real human what they actually think would be really wrong.. there for it is subjective because of perspective.
