'This part of the website requires that we believe in absolute truth, but I don’t believe that at all. In my opinion, there are no answers, only choices. I think it is judgmental for you to maintain that you are right and others are wrong.'

 
That does seem to be the popular opinion, but stop and think about that for a minute. If I were to ask you the question, “Are there any answers?” you would reply, “No, there are no answers!” So, in essence, you believe you have an answer! It seems like that is a self refuting position to take. It’s like saying, “I’m absolutely sure that there is NO absolute truth!” The concept falls on it’s own sword.

 
'OK, but even if there was an absolute truth, what makes you think you know what it is?'

 
Well, I’m certainly not the source of all truth, that’s for sure. We all have to decide where to turn to learn the truth. The popular opinion is often that science and reason alone will reveal the truth. But many of us have come to the conclusion that reason and scientific exploration alone won’t give us all the answers. There are some things we simply cannot ascertain.

 
'If that’s true, what are you using as your source of truth?'

 
I do think one reasonable source is the Word of God. I say this only because God’s Word is consistent with what I see in nature, what I see in human behavior, and what I see in the history of mankind. I also think that it may be time for the popular secular beliefs we often hear to be challenged, particularly when they so vigorously deny the possibility of absolute truth and morality, and the existence of God.
