Quote from Veyron 16.4:
Stu, not really.
What was asked was: "Does absolute truth exist." What was given as an answer was: "In mathematics" and "In nature."
Remaining intellectually honest, those were qualified answers and not absolute answers. The question itself defines that boundaries within which the answer is either qualified or unqualified. The answers given required precedent. An absolute answer would have by definition required dependency. So, logically, "in mathematics" and "in nature," cannot possibly be an answer for "what is absolute truth." This is not merely splitting hairs. This is a straight forward logical assessment of the facts as they were/are.
The answer to the question was a very important one for the reasons I have outlined above in my second to last post.

Goodness me Veyron. How can you make so much inconsistency and illogical mistake without checking yourself?
Look, here is the way it appears to shape (or rather doesn't shape) up.
You asked the question "Does Absolute Truth Exist?"
It is fair to say absolute truth exists and is demonstrated in math nature and existence.
You seem to agree to absolute truth, which you asked of 'does it exist' , is in math and nature, and agree outright to the absolute truth of Existence.
You seem to have no logical conflict with Existence but for no logical reason yet made, you do with Math and Nature?
Would you like to have another go at trying to explain why that is so? And please if you do, could you keep it concise.
Let me just say, if your intention was that to in some way prove by asking "Does absolute truth exist." that God was to be the only "absolute truth", even though there is no verifying evidence whatsoever of God, quite unlike there is of the absolute truth of Math, Nature and Existence, itâs not really going to happen - is it!
As for your "no wiggle room logical proof" of [0+0]+N = God thing or whatever it is, you cannot arbitrarily attach God to the symbol N and say math proves the existence of God. You may well be able to do that at the laughingly named "Discovery Institute" but not in any formal math exercise.
Your 'unbreakable logic' as you call it breaks itself into bits. In reality nothing to do with logic, but comes across as a question begging self defeating set of assumptions supported on no more than an egocentric self conviction that you are right.
There is no math, there is no science, there is no logical argument in or for Intelligent Design and Creationism. There never has been.
Trying to use math or logic to prove what is essentially the emotional desire for a Creator/Intelligent Design/Creationism isn't going to work.
No offense intended.
