[ All truth is just opinion anyway.... ]

Which is the condensation of the question, "My truth or your truth"...
Another view of the scale of the "observations" of the Observer.. The scale weighs observations.. With no scale the weight is just an opinion.. Without the Bible as a scale humanity is just fishing for concepts, and proudly lying about their size.. As Neils Bohrs "implys", even the reciprocal of a truth is a truth.. Its possible that the whole unvarnished truth of any matter is too much for one man to contain.. meaning we need each other to even approach understanding a portion of the truth, any truth..

Would make the metaphor of the "Body of Christ" even deeper in its concept.. meaning it takes us all to understand the truth, any truth.. It might take a corporate structure to contain the truth, any truth.. i.e. the truth MUST be shared corporately to even approach it.. (spirits Merging <- BOW)

So very true, hosepipe. Yet still people will act as if they had a monopoly on truth....

No one can possibly know absolutely everything that is relevant to even a single simple problem. So we can just forget about having "certainty" in this world....

Prior to the advent of Adam, the humankind living upon the Earth would have thought they could define truth based upon what worked best in their experiences and in their collective behaviors. And that was indeed all they were capable of attaining with a natural soul (a nephesh).

With the advent of Adam, God mixed the spirit dimension into the universe of physical and mental life, and with spirit in mankind there was a means by which the human mind could, even if fleeting and brief in nature, tap into the field of God Truth ... Adam possessed a sense of right and wrong sourced in his spirit component (the neshama), not his loins. There is a huge hint of this state in the fact that God planted a garden with only one entrance/exist, and placed His special creation, Adam, in it for protection ... the same protection Cain realized he would not have with the banishment sentence God issued after Cain slew his brother Abel.

With the fall, the process of regeneration (in Christ) is essential to regaining this sense of God Truth right and wrong, for to reflect the character of God (and that's what God Truth is, a wording of the character of God) requires the life of God in the human spirit, as the earnest of an inheritance to come in fullness at some later where/when of final regeneration.

Science seeks admirably to establish truth (as far it may measure and quantify it) in reality of how the universe actually works, but this is an exercise confined to the spacetime, 4D realm and thus incapable of touching that which lies beyond this 4D realm, as in the dimension of soul and spirit, the neshama of our human reality.
