I read in the local newspaper yesterday that 65% of teens believe truth is relative, what is true for you may not be true for me and vice-versa. If you fall into this category, consider this:<\/p>\n
I flip a coin. I catch it with my hand and slap it on my other hand without revealing the coin. I ask the expected question, \u201cheads or tails?\u201d<\/p>\n
You say, \u201cheads.\u201d<\/p>\n
Someone else says, \u201ctails.\u201d<\/p>\n
I then take the coin and without revealing it slip it into my pocket. I say, \u201cit\u2019s neither.\u201d<\/p>\n
You protest. The other person does too.<\/p>\n
But I insist it\u2019s neither because it was not verified and we simply don\u2019t know now and will never know.<\/p>\n
You continue to protest stating the coin had to either be heads or tails under my hand, the fact I never showed it does not matter.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t you agree there is something fishy going on here? Of course<\/span> the coin was either heads or tails regardless of our ability to verify. Of course<\/span> the coin was either heads or tails regardless of our personal preference or conviction.<\/p>\n Truth exists regardless of our ability to verify it every time. Truth exists regardless of our personal preferences or convictions.<\/p>\n If every school in the world began to teach that 2+2=5, even if every person began to believe it, 2+2 will continue to equal 4. Society today doesn\u2019t even dare to tell us that 2+2=5, society tells us 2+2=???. You can make up your own answer, whatever is true for you is acceptable. You can decide for yourself if the coin is heads or tails regardless of what is actually under my hand. But regardless of what you come up with, it will never change the fact that 2+2 always equals 4 and that the coin was either heads or tails.<\/p>\n When people say truth does not exist, they make a statement contradictory to their belief. By saying, \u201cTruth does not exist\u201d one is making an absolute true statement. One asserts there is at least one truth, that truth does not exist, and that is talking nonsense.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I read in the local newspaper yesterday that 65% of teens believe truth is relative, what is true for you may not be true for me and vice-versa.
