Myth, 65

~ Truth Is Relative ~

A Very False Premise  ~  Gravity is not relative!  Mathematics is not relative!  The speed of light is not relative!  Throughout all of our environment there are constants.  An apple seed will never grow a cherry tree! 

Key Point  ~  Just because you believe something does not make it true.  If you believe the earth is flat it does not change the fact the earth is a sphere.  There are those who claim that the holocaust never happened – but the facts are very clear!

The Source of Truth  ~  God, the Creator, is the source of all truth.  His Word, the Holy Bible is truth.  His Son is the Living Word. 

“And the Word [Jesus Christ] became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.  John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, ‘This was He of whom I said, “He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.”’  And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.  For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:14-18-7).

Jesus Himself said, “I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6b).

Side Note  ~  Einstein’s “Theory of Relativity” is badly named.  The word relativity implies to many the opposite of absolute. “Einstein is often said to have held ‘all things are relative.’  He did not.  ‘Relativity’ is in fact a thoroughly bad name for the theory.  Einstein considered calling it the opposite: ‘invariance theory.’  He discovered what was absolute and reliable despite the apparent confusions, illusions, and contradictions produced by relative motions or action of gravity.  The chief merit of the name ‘relativity’ is in reminding us that a scientist is unavoidably a participant in the system he is studying.  Einstein gave ‘the observer’ his proper status in modern science” (Calder, Nigel; Einstein's Universe).
