Question

1. What is truth?
2. Is their absolute truth?
3. Truths Vs Facts is their a difference?

Answer 1

1. absence of fallacy
2. yes
3. absolute vs collective conclusion

Answer 2

1. Truth means 'actually what it is'
2. Every truth has a very small ratio of false. So there is nothing like absolute truth.
3. Difference between Truths and facts are only by spelling

Answer 3

1) A variable thing.
There is a day-to-day popular use of the word and concept, which can be at odd with it's varying use use by logicians, philosophers and theologians.
Each usage can be defined, but be sure you (and others) are using the same one in the same context.
2) Almost certainly, but there is no absolute proof or certainty to demonstrate what it is. God cannot both exist and not-exist, barring some tricks with the definition of words. If there really is more than one universe, as opposed to multiple understandings (personal truths) and points of view concerning the one universe, that is very difficult to deal with, philosophically. Not impossible, but tricky.
3) Usage of "fact " also varies. I tend to use it a level down from truth. A piece of information, a datum. Nearly 20,000 British soldiers died on the first day of the Somme offensive: fact.
The Somme offensive was a success.
The Somme offensive was a failure.
Two opposing statements both held to be true by different groups, while neither deny the fact.

Answer 4

1. Truth is That, that which cannot be negated. In other words "IS"ness is the Truth.

2. In Truth there is no place for adjectives such as Absolute or Relative. Indeed Truth alone Is.

3.From an empirical or relative standpoint certainly there is a difference..... but strictly speaking "No", for the Facts are substrated by the Truth.

Answer 5

truth lies in the eyes of the one wanting it.
the more you approach the truth the more it seems so elusive.

1.- The truth is the correct or "real" facts.
2.- Absolute? Who knows...
3.- The truth lies in the facts, solve or resolve them, and they'll make a truth that needs more facts to be another truth.

Answer 6

The truth is that cucumbers give you gas.

The absolute truth is cucumbers give everyone gas.

The truth that cucumbers give you (and everyone else) gas is supported by scientific data showing how the plant's seed content, enzymes and various other molecular components are given to the production of excess gas in the human digestive tract and that...is a fact.

Now take a hike, stinky.

Answer 7

Truth is what we perceive. Something that is true to someone may not be true to others. Even simple truths can be debated and twisted around so much that it became another truth, upside down. Is it true that I have a piece of bread? Or do I hold in my hands a fusion of yeast, flour, eggs and whatnot? Or is it more complicated than that?

Answer 8

1) don't know

2) Yes absolute truth exists. Example: Two cultures: one believes God exists, one doesn't. In an absolute sense, oBvIoUsLy God cannot exist and not exist at the same time. Therefore, either he does or he doesn't: a 'truth' independent of perspective by neccessity.

3) don't know

Answer 9

1. Truth occurs when the observer tires of searching

2. No

3. Facts occur when the investigators agree to stop investigating

Answer 10

truth is an unbiased representation of what people choose not to see.
one person's truth may just be an opinion.
truth is like. you have a face
opinion is like your face is pretty or ugly.
keep your opinions to yourself if you ever want to change anything. people don't like to be told what to do.
unless they ask then if they are upset with the results then too bad.
