What I found really interesting during last Tuesday’s discussionis that we begin again by discussing the idea that there is no “Truth” and howwe should balance subjectivity and fact. This has been a major point of the class, not even science has definite answersor proven truths.  We talked abouthow we should not just believe things like the earth is round just becausesomeone told us.  However, as soonas this conversation was finished we moved on to talk about evolution and allof a sudden random “facts” were just given out.  The atmosphere started with no oxygen and the firstorganisms were single celled. Through all this I couldn’t help but think what if I raised my hand andsaid I don’t believe you, you don’t know that’s true.  But if we all always did that then no one would ever learnanything.  I think simply taking somethings to be true is necessary in order to accomplish anything.  There needs to be a very carefulbalance between subjectivity and truth.
