Fiddlers Green However it undermines the assertion of statements as absolute Truth. We must now add the caveat most likely, rather than making flat statements of correctness or incorrectness. Unless we wish to bar our ears to these possibilities and continue with our assumptions. But people seem to love the razor better than the rake. Happily discarding things that do not seem likely while merrily keeping ideas who's only merit is that they wish them to be so. The only solution we can strive for is to critically evaluate it all. If someone wishes to discuss why they think the sun's core is ice, and how that model would work- let them. Let others answer and explain why it is not. That said, both sides need to be critical in their evaluations. Absolute Truth is Truth, but that doesn't mean it is beyond being questioned.
The difference however is that once the questions are answered, and the Truth demonstrated, the difference between Willful Ignorance and a mere difference of opinion shall have been put to rest.

It is not beyond being questioned. It is beyond being comprehended. We have only flawed principles thru which to understand it, therefore diminishing it... making it perspective, rather than Truth. By the time we artificially constrain it with words, it becomes simplification, simile and parable. When that is then put thru the slaying filter of yet another's senses, how can we have anything even remotely resembling the original Truth? We have a grain of discoloured sand, and we call it the desert.

I fundamentally hold that the assumption that our principles and perceptions must be considered flawed simply because it is possible they are is off.
It's possible that such is the case for some folks. Hell, I know it is. But I can't hold it as a universal.
