To Believe or Not to Believe!

What if there is no Absolute Truth? How do we function knowing that everything we think, feel and see is nothing more than mere interpretation of our previous learning's and experiences? What I see as good, you contradict as bad. What I see as great, you view as mediocre. It would make sense that if there was an absolute truth also known as God according to theologians, then perhaps we were created flawed so we would not be able to know absolute truth. I mean why would I create something that does not need me after it is created. For example if I created a robot in my image I would surly not teach it everything that I know, because if I did,it would not need me anymore. In the same fashion if we were created in the Lord's image it's almost certain that we would lack certain attributes that would make us exactly like our creator.
Of course there is a counter argument for that example as there seems to be a counter argument for everything in Philosophy. One could argue that we were created to evolve. History proves this to be true. It is then possible that we were created with the ability to know absolute truth but have not been able to know it as yet. If I created my robot with the ability to think for itself and evolve giving it all the tools it needs to learn, understand and express itself then I need not worry about whether or not it would need me anymore. It is a self sufficient being. If the answer is out there eventually it will find the answer. We search for cures for years with no end in sight but eventually we find a cure for our ailments. In the same fashion we search for absolute truth with no end in sight but we will eventually find it. Do you know the truth? Did you find it yet?

Welcome all!

This is an introductory Blog to express the topic of TRUTH in this world as we perceive it. There are so many different understandings to the idea of truth. The question is do you know what truth is? Philosophers of the past have broken up theories of truth into four sub categories: Subjective truth, relative truth, objective truth and absolute truth. For the purpose of this discussion and because it is probably the most popular of all philosophical truths I will discuss the idea of ABSOLUTE TRUTH. This is the truth that is literally out of this world. For theologists there is only one absolute truth, in fact the very word "absolute" is believed to be the supreme being, God. What this means is that nothing that we know to be true is true. Not even 1 + 1 = 2. How can this be you ask? Well if one were to take a theologists approach to life then every thing we know in this world is either subjective, relative or objective. Even 1 + 1 = 2 can be seen as subjective, relative or objective.


For example if you had one cup of juice and poured it into a cup and took another cup of juice and poured it into the same cup (assuming that the cup is big enough) you would still only have one cup of juice. Which means that 1 cup + 1 cup = 1 cup. Which also means that 1 + 1 = 1, not 2. You could argue that 2 cups of juice were poured into one cup and therefore explain it as such. In that case it would become relative to the situation. Weather subjective, relative or objective it seems that absolute truth is unattainable. Truth is always skewed by one's perception. Is there anything that we as human beings can be certain off? Perhaps finding an absolute truth would mean answering life's biggest question. Do you know the truth? Lets explore!
