Some matters in history are really rather certain. When it comes to values and convictions, the Golden Rule may well not be susceptible to scientific or historical \u201cproof\u201d, but that need not mean we should loosen our grip on it. Other matters \u2013 symbolic language we use to talk about God, for instance \u2013 may be appropriately considered \u201chighly uncertain\u201d from many of those same perspectives, but that may not undermine the importance of the symbol as a guide to live by. In addition to the question of whether there is such a thing a \u201ctruth\u201d, it is important to recognize that there are not only different
kinds<\/em> of truth, but also differing degrees of certainty within each category.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
