Is there such a thing as absolute truth?

[bhaktajan]

No. The syrian president Bashar al-Assad has "alternate facts".

The Venezuelan president nicolas maduro has "alternate facts".

The cuban president fidel castro has "alternate facts".

Is that an Absolute Truth?

Alternative truths exist in many countries where dictators ruled.

You are equating truth and ideology. They are not the same. Perhaps you should learn the definition of truth.

Like as with many words divined by the human mind, there is the possibility of one word, or even a sentence, having many "truths". For instance, "Is milk healthy for you". Generally speaking the answer would be yes. However, the question then becomes what kind of "milk", or even how much is safe. So, what is true for one, or in a specific circumstance, may not be true for all.

Puhleeeeeez! I can't even take you seriously. What you have just proven is that milk is NOT good for everyone. That is an absolute truth. Thanks for playing. Would you like to try again?

I would, but you obviously lack the intellect to grasp what was said. Keep trying though. Some day you might understand simple logic.

[Mason Michaels]

What, exactly, is alternative truth? There is no such thing. Something is either true or false.

Irrelevant. It doesn't matter who supports your position or why. You are wrong.

Well, it seemed that you were trying to claim that someone said milk being good for everyone is not an absolute truth. I'm not aware of anyone ever having said that. In any case, it does not change the truth that milk is NOT good for everyone. You have not in any way proven that absolute truth does not exist. Every statement ever made is either true or false. That is absolute truth.

That's where the term came from!

[Grugore]

I don't care where it came from. Something is either true or it is not. It cannot be both, and it cannot be something else.

[Mott the Hoople]

This should be a no brainer. Any bets on how many fools try to deny absolute truth?

Well there certainly isn’t any in science.

[Mott the Hoople]

You are completely missing the point. Think about it. Something is either true or it is not. Ones perception has nothing to do with it.

You’re confusing truth with certainty.

[MAGA MAN]

This should be a no brainer. Any bets on how many fools try to deny absolute truth?

To a Democrat, it's only true if a Democrat said it. If a Republican said the exact same thing, then that Republican is a liar.

[PostmodernProphet]

Not to get philosophical and all, but absolute, no, think of the tree falling in the woods thing

the tree must have fallen on your head......

[PostmodernProphet]

No.
Each of us perceives the world in a different way.

yes......the rest of you are wrong.......
