So your "challenge" was directed towards Splash and only Splash. Fair enough, I suppose. Just for fun, though, I'd be interested to hear your definition of "truth". Earlier on you didn't define it, you just gave examples of statements which you labelled either "true" or "not true". This can be useful, but it can also lead to unnecessary confusion. You seem to be using "truth" as an equivalent term to several related, but distinct, concepts. In your understanding, what is the difference between the following: an axiom a truth a belief truth From what you've written so far, you seem to hold to a form of naive realism in your epistemology. This isn't surprising if you haven't been exposed to much philosophy, but it does tend to minimize the impact of your assertions, particularly when they're accompanied by ad hominem attacks, straw men, and arguments from silence. Perhaps if we can take a bit of time to make sure we're talking about the same thing we might be able to have a profitable discussion. Dirk |
