Great question, thank you for asking! Probably deserves much more of a debate than a note but I’ll try.

I don’t think truth is achieved. I think truth just is truth. Our ability to comprehend the truth, understanding it fully, and accepting it as truth is certainly the biggest obstacle. This is why science and mathematics are so important.

Science is our attempt to find absolute truth, by always questioning, testing, observing, and coming as close to truth as possible. Mathematics is just a language with which we can measure and define what we observe in science. A communication medium that all scientific findings must adhere to. If you question a thesis, test it prove it using math. If you disagree, use math(logic).

If a majority of the people believe the Earth is flat, that doesn’t make it truth. What is great is we can test this. Your are not a conspiracy theorist for questioning, you are a scientist! Find ways to test if your thesis is true.

In regards to religion, how do you test which god is true, which is not? How can you believe things written about events thousands of years ago? How is this testable, observable? Is it all just faith? How can you test this on the God of the Bible?

A way I believe you can test this is by archeological finds. Did the things that the Bible, which is God’s inspired Word, happen or not? Can we find evidence of things written about? If we do find supporting evidence then these events may have transpired.

This is, of course, just 1 step/path you could use to find the truth.

If you were to come to the conclusion that the events in the Bible did happen, that they seem to be accurate, and I can find the Bible trustworthy as a historical document, then you might be able to ask deeper questions. If the Bible is accurate, then how does God, define itself/himself within the Bible? How does that impact or change my belief/understanding of what I or the collective think a god should or shouldn’t be.

🧡🧡🧡 sorry for making this a long note
