The only way to know the truth in any given situation is to know all information about any given subject along with the information of the connected and influential subjects. High and low, the only way to have a correct perception of anything is to know everything. To this point, nothing...absolutely nothing...is able to be proved. This does not mean that we are wrong about everything, just that we cannot prove it at the current time. If nobody is able to know everything, even about their own life, then nobody is capable of knowing the truth about anything. All we have are our guesses. In that case, all you can do is have false hope and blind faith in everything you believe. If that is the case, which I believe it is, it is the only tool and option we have, so all we can do is try to progress and learn while remaining open minded. That is until we can start to answer questions with a full knowledge of what the question actually is.

The statement "You created everything" is fairly advanced for a today's Christian. I wonder if you understand the concept that we are ALL creators and create our reality at every moment? If you do I'm impressed. If not you will get there someday, some lifetime.
All I will say about TRUTH is that is does appear to be relative to our state of development. (spiritual or otherwise). Its about perception and growth. To be rigid on what you think is a truth will stop your spiritual growth. This does not mean you are not on a path of truth, it means that as you grow in consciousness you approach a greater understanding of truth. This is quite different then the modern christian view. It falls in line closer to the ancients. But we now have a greater capacity to understand then they did, if we allow it.

Do what I've been doing ... asking questions to learn more of everyones opinion, you'll be suprised how many people will actually give you an answer and a definition that even if you do not agree with it, will help you to better understand that persons point of view ... and hey ... who knows, mabye just maybe, one day we will all be able to look back at this time and have a good laugh at ourselves :) and you may just learn something by asking the right question.

In Hebrews 11:1-2 in the Message Translation of the bible:
The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's our handle on what we can't see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.

Everything people believe has always just been their opinion. It's only now that we're starting to realize that.
...of course, some opinions tend to have survival advantages.

Faiths are deteriorating everywhere, especially among educated and intelligent people.
we tend to accept scientific truths over beliefs.
faith is what you believe in, not necessarily what someone else believes in and certainly not the truth.
