Truth and Fact
November 10, 2011 at 8:55 am
In Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, Indiana Jones says in one of his lectures that his class is about the search for facts, not truth. He says "If truth is what you are after... [the] philosophy class is down the hall."

I recently had a discussion about this on another forum. Are truth and fact the same or can one hold a truth that is not a fact?
Love 'n' hugz,

Lord Chad
4th Earl of Catsuit

There is nothing more dangerous than a man who knows he is right.
