Exactly what truth are you reffering to? You need to be more specific.
i would think he means observable truths, like during the day time blue wave lengths are absorbed by the molicules in the sky making it appear to be blue, this is a fact and true. just as at night it does not do so
I am happy for you that your beliefs allow you all the confidence in science a good follower of faith typically exhibits when discussing thier beliefs. However, I do not share your view.
i guess accepting science for the benefits of man and the world it has produced is meaningless to you? i mean i figure thats why he accepts it, not because of some faith in it. but that it works, which is why most people accept it
I do not share your view
what views do you have? you don't really show any beliefs at all, so far you just try to be counter to everything that is mainstream or common
1). Any observation of what is beneficial to mankind is purely subjective.
umm what?, that doesn't make any sense,if you observe a medicen that helps destroy a cancer or gives a person back the ability to walk, thats subjective? that is a benefite. i'm not sure you know what subjective means when you use it
2.) Any quality of truth is a subjective observation of the objectively abstract idea "truth"
umm what? that also makes no sense, a truth: rocks exist. stubbing your toe on said rock hurts, that is subjective. but also a truth. seeing someone break thier toe on a rock is objective and looks painful and can be observed, thus is a truth
Science can never be apart from the subjective. It is where it originates from.
i think you are just saying things without knowing what they mean, do you even know what the words mean?
science is by defintion objective, if it was subjective it would be useless since noone could understand apart from the person presenting it
