Having just viewed an interview between Brandon Flowers and Richard Dawkins, I'm now considering the importance of truth. Dawkins substantiates truth as factual and requiring proof. I have since looked up the word and no definition I can find supports this view, and yet Dawkins discounts the entire concept of religion based on "truth". As a Christian, I would suggest that there are two elements of truth. There is factual, objective truth that can be proven by evidential investigation. Then there is spiritual truth, a sense of "knowing" something to be true, which is a feeling, and completely subjective, but no less real. How anyone can try to base feelings on fact, when they lie at opposite ends of a spectrum, is totally beyond me. Any thoughts?
