Absolute truth and human understanding
#7
RE: Absolute truth and human understanding
I hate the notion of absolute certainty. It's completely useless. There's always room for doubt no matter how infinitesimal. I think understanding things can't be absolutely certain but at least certain to an almost absolute degree allows for people to have a meaningful conversation. People like Daystar who claim absolute certainty of a book based on hearsay is not worth my time.
