So you are asking whether your opinions exist, n'est pas? If that is it, then yes, your own truth exists, but you already knew that.Quote:

Interesting. I am simply thinking is there truth to anything because if there is then there has got to have a falseness somewhere. Opposites have their words and so are similars. For a truth to be one must have a falseness to start with.Quote:

Yes there is falsehood, but that doesn't negate truth, just shows a view's inaccuracies on a position. because as its been said, our interpretation aims to be objective but in the end is always subjective.
Indeed Shaman haha. Thinking the kudos to intellectual shenanigan. Why turf when you can surf.Quote:

Truth as a result of an assumption that misplaced not thought out.
Let's put it this way which do you think came first truth or falsehood?Quote:

Yes, but what are the laws of physics? If math is used as a language for physics, then there are many many true laws. But if physics is understood as the language of math, then there are no true laws.Quote:

Yes, there is truth.
Given logic, "No, there is no truth" is impossible. It's self contradictory. It cannot be a true statement, because its truth would contradict its claim.
That is true.Quote:
