Re: Science does not deal in truth
quote:
Arithmetic is used in all fields of research, so I will use an example from there.
1 + 1 = 2
If this were not a fact {I.E. True all the time, for all people, in all situation} Then your vary bases for research in erroneous. Someone could add to the equation, or change it in some way, but, the truth of the mater is that, one plus one will always equal two.
But 1 + 1 = 11 can also be true.
But for your "1 + 1 = 2", can you prove that it is true? (We do have a topic concerning the mathematical proof of that, buried somewhere).
