What is da truth?

I think the truth is completely subjective, if someone believes something is the absolute truth, then to them it is. Not everyone has to believe the same things are true, but I think that if someone has a strong understanding of what is true, then it can be to them.

I think the widely accepted truths are created by those in powerful positions; scientists, the pope, world leaders, ect.

I understand what the book is saying and it makes a lot of sense, but a world with nothing definite is too complicated for me!

good times.

I can't really meet you on the idea that truth is totally subjective. To say so is to completely undermine the mathematical and scientific principles which societies have used to progress themselves through time. Of course these ideas are not infallible, but certain discoveries have given us the solid data we need to explore the world further
