I wish to complement Laura on her statement that truth is not a matter of public opinion. Truth is truth no matter who (if anyone) believes it. I happen to be a fundamentalist Christian. Sometimes when I talk to my friends about Jesus, they tell me that their God is different than mine, that their truth is different from mine, and that we're both right. But the way I see it, we all have different opinions and speculations about what the truth is. But having these opinions does not at all change what the truth really is.

#N:ea:15000005:000:535 ea!dlf Aug 16 17:08:00 1984 Dave and Laura referred to something called "truth" and said that only one truth can decribe a particular situation. Since you say that this is so, can you give me the list that all truths must conform to? Remember this list must apply to all "truths", be universal to all "truths", and be time independent. Time independent meaning that if something is true today, that it was also true 10,000 years ago and will be true 10,000 years from today. I don't think you can do it (this is a challenge if you didn't catch that). dlf
