So does that mean you didn't exist before? Just checking. Anyway, it's amazing what you can find on u-tube. I even watched the debate on ABC, guess I should stay up on the news a bit better. I'm an American, and by saying that I mean to imply I hold the right to free speech and free thought very dear. But such rights did not originate with the constitution. They have been given from the very beginning of humanity. The Greeks themselves prided their rational response to all things new. They valued new thinking and philosophy. We are not robots, each person chooses what they believe. However, that belief doesn't make what they believe true. There are some instances when many things can be true, but there is only one truth in every matter. For instance, a car accident happens. The driver, victim, passanger, witness; they all have a different perspective. In each of their versions what they say is true; but in the larger scheme the truth is what actually happened, the conglomeration of everyone's facts. In other words truth is like seeing every aspect of the accident at the same time. Thus, truth doesn't change with perspective. It is the same through all time; it is what actually happened and what will happen. The history of mankind, has discrepancies not because there is a lack of truth, but because we weren't there. Secondly, even if we were we can't see all aspects of incidents at one time. Yes, of course, in a perfect situation you could interview, set up recording equipment; but there is still the problem of viewing it all at the same time.
P.S. I like the name, you respond to the rational.
