distinct sources: what enters the body externally
through the senses and what already resides
internally in the individual. All five senses,
seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting,
are important in developing thoughts and ideas,

conditions what we see. Seeing conditions what we
believe; believing conditions what we see. This is

evidence? To best discuss this statement, it is
necessary to examine different cases in which
either side of the statement might be true. Having
done this, it will become eas...

what is truth, never stayed for an answer. This is
from the mere reason that if he would have stayed

The truth is constructed of many parts of our
existence including language, conscience,
knowledge and belief and a complete answer for his
