NEMO | The thread about Adam and Eve below made me think of a book I read several years ago called 'I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist' written by Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek.
It seems today, now more than ever, people can't handle the truth. So here are a few truths taken from the book mentioned above.
* Truth is discovered, not invented. It exists independent of anyone's knowledge of it. (Gravity existed prior to Newton.)
*Truth is transcultural; if something is true, it is true for all people, in all places, at all times (2+2=4 for everyone, everywhere, at every time).
*Truth is unchanging even though our beliefs about truth change. (When we began to believe the earth was round instead of flat, the truth about the earth didn't change, only our belief about the earth changed.)
*Beliefs cannot change a fact, no matter how sincerely they are held. (Someone can sincerely believe the world is flat, but that only makes that person sincerely mistaken.)
