| Truth
The truth defined by a set of odds in
relation to one or more agreements
made.
Absolute truth can never be false. Any statement made by any member
of
mankind today can be successfully argued. "The world is round",
"The sky is
blue", "1 + 1 = 2" are not absolutely true. Most
of us believe these
statements to be absolutely true with little or no consideration
of their
falsehood. This assumed truth comes as a result of certain undeclared
agreements made prior to determination of truthfulness. We believe
the
world is round only because we have already agreed that the world
exists.
We also must of agreed that mankind is fully capable of comprehending
various characteristics of the world's existence by means of scientific
measurement, calculation, method, etc. We believe the sky to be
blue
because we have agreed that certain visual inputs (concerning color)
should
only be defined as "blue" as opposed to "red"
or "yellow". Lastly, in order
to believe that "1 + 1 = 2" we needed to agree on how
our numbering system
was defined (what does "1" mean? The number 1 does not
exist in the
physical word. It requires a logical definition) |
