Faith vs Truth (1)

The following questions are the ones that really need to be examined in the course of any discussion on faith. These questions have bothered, perplexed, amazed and enthralled greater thinkers than I since the dawn of time. In essence these questions (in my understanding) form the foundational underpinnings for the entire philosophical / scientific en devour.

1. What is truth? Does truth in fact exist?
2. How do we know / recognize that a particular statement is true?
3. What mechanisms can be used to test to see if a particular statement is true?
4. If the truth is found, can it be documented / quantified?

The above questions can all be asked by replacing the word “truth” with “false”. For by definition if the concept of truth is said to exist then so too the concept of falsehood.
