10 years ago that statement would be truth. 10 years from now it will not be truth.
that's because both statements are general ones referencing different points in time. if the reference is specified, it can clearly be seen why one is true and the other is false and it has nothing to do with the truth changing. "Obama will be president after the year 2003" is the equivalent of the first statement, and "Obama will be president after 2023" is the equivalent of the second statement. as you can see, it's a difference in statements, not truth.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
