The Truth about Truth From the book: I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist by Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek

What is truth? Telling it like it is That which corresponds to its object That which describes an actual state of affairs

Truths about Truth Truth is discovered, not invented. It exists independent of anyone’s knowledge of it. Gravity existed prior to Newton.

Truths about Truth 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.

Truths about Truth 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.

Truths about Truth Beliefs cannot change a fact, no matter how sincerely they are held. Someone can sincerely believe the world is flat, that only makes that person sincerely mistaken.

Truths about Truth Truth is not affected by the attitude of the one professing it. An arrogant person does not make the truth he professes false. A humble person does not make the error he professes true.

Truths about Truth All truths are absolute truths. Even truths that appear to be relative are really absolute. “I, Dan Anderson, feel chilly on Friday, October 15, 2010” may appear to be a relative truth, but it is actually absolutely true for everyone, everywhere that Dan Anderson had the sensation of feeling cool on that day.

Belief ≠ Truth Contrary beliefs are possible, but contrary truths are not possible. We can believe everything is true, but we cannot make everything true. “To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’” – John 8:32-33 NIV
