How tall am I?
You could answer that with an answer which was 'close' by simply choosing the height figure for an average adult male living here in America and it would be 'almost the truth' ...

Now to the point: When is the 'almost the truth' literally the only truth you've got (and it is nowhere close to "almost pregnant")?

Ans: In most fields of science.

I can measure current in a circuit and with the best calibrated meter I have come only within +-.02%. I could almost never ever count every electron however, so, I would have to settle for 'almost the truth' as the truth in this case.


6'1" 195lbs Brn Hr Brn eyes ;)

Your ans; in most fields of science. Is your answer.
The truth I accept is based on scripture.Any truth outside of that is a lie,conjecture or opinion unless supported by scripture.

Actually, this cartoon is too kind to the "creationist method". The creationist method, as your own quote above makes clear, is more accurately paraphrased as: "Here's the conclusion -- we shall accept any facts which support what we already believe, and we will reject as 'lies, conjectures, or opinions' any facts which are inconvenient for our desired conclusion."
