AN EXCERPT FROM QUICK REBUTTALS
On Truth and Standards
A. Truth Exists
It is self-defeating to state that truth does not exist. If truth does not exist, then there is no reason to believe what the proponent of such an idea (the relativist or skeptic) is telling us...
...Since relativism and skepticism are self-refuting, then they MUST be false. If they are false, then knowledge MUST neccessarily exist...
...If knowledge exists, then the object of knowledge MUST also exist, namelly, "Truth."
B. A Standard Exists
The fact that we argue is evidence for "truth" and that a "standard" must exist--else we argue in vain. The very definition of argument assumes a standard...
..."The Principle of Sufficient Reason" states that 'nothing' cannot produce 'something'...
...There must be a cause for everything coming into existence--including truth...
...The only exception to this is "The Uncaused Cause"--God Hiimself!...
...See "Causality"...
...Subjective opinion implies the changing whims of man's individuality and distinctiveness. Objective truth imlpies consistency of a righteous, fair and immutable standard...
...If there are no standards, all things become permissible--Hitller and Mother Teresa become co-equals. And we all know better than this...
...Truth has nothing to do with time periods, opinions, attitudes, shifting paradigms or trends. Truth is absolute. It is immutable...
....For truth to exist at any level, a standard must exist somewhere that does not have to answer to yet, a still higher standard, else truth is not truth. If truth exists, then so too must a Standard Givver.
