The ugly truth is that TRUTH doesn't evolve. Something is true, today, tomorrow and thousands of years from now IF it was truth to begin with.

Yes, I agree with that, but I see us as always on the way towards truth, rather than ever being in possession of it. It's the Peircian fallibilistic approach to science.

Back in a while if you want to continue the discussion!

Truth may not evolve but human statements about it do.

The ugly truth is that TRUTH doesn't evolve.

Are you sure? Are there perhaps "classes" of truth for which that's not true?

For example, "he was not born yet," "he is alive," and "he's long-dead" are all "true" statements that apply to, say, Beethoven. They're all true, and they're all mutually exclusive, and they all apply to the same object.

Why is that not an example of an "evolving truth?"
