True.. without that epiphany, truth is hieroglyphics..
i.e. pretty pictures, pictogram's, theory.. even opinion or qualia..
But with the Rosetta stone, the conversation becomes transcendent of time.. truth becomes knowable and doable.. Because if "its" true.. it was true, then, as well as now.. else its not true at all.. Theory is not truth, theory is merely the Question asked.. The truth is an/the answer to the question.. i.e. What is gravity?... Nobody knows.. We just know that it is..
Indeed, Truth is timeless and transcendent and thus can only come from God. It cannot be perceived by reasoning alone because of the observer problem - we are part of what we seek to observe.
