a world without truth

Submitted by ilja on Sun, 02/01/2009 - 2:35pm.
The idea about boxes in boxes appeals to me, just like the idea of loopy science. It makes me curious about other concepts that I have not discovered yet and I like the idea that the world and our knowledge is always evolving. But it also makes me wonder about the things in life that we do not want to evaluate? One of the things that came to mind was religion. For me religions represent structures that are based on absolute truths. Religions give us answers that we are supposed to accept and believe in, they are based on faith, not on a summary of observations. Without this absolute truth would religions be the same? In the same sense this absence of truths puts a limit to other things in life, like love; concepts that are very important in the life of people and that gives meaning to our lives.
