God divided the world from the firmament - this is true.
The Universe started with a Big Bang - this is also true.
You became self-aware and the universe accrued about your awareness to accommodate the new point of view - this too is truth.
Some instantly forgettable, yet infinitely quotable person, once wrote: "there is my truth and your truth and the actual truth probably lies somewhere in between."
There's always another way of looking at the facts - of interpreting different truths. No thing is absolute, no fundamental premise incontrovertible - our spherically flat planet taught us that. Something should only ever be considered, at most: true enough. For current understanding. For present circumstances. For prevailing conditions.
What's true enough for you, is not my business. What is true enough for me, is not yours. A truth should only ever be offered and never forced upon another.
The indelible croƻtons of absolute truth may exist, arbitrarily, throughout the ever expanding pea soup of human knowledge - but its only at the end of that illimitable dish that we can say, with any glimmer of certainty, where those crumbs may lie.
And even then - the soup is usually just the first course.
