TRUTH

Truth by its very nature can not be relative.  
If I say that one thing is true, its opposite cannot also be true.  It makes sense right?
This is easy to prove when looking at examples from the physical world.  The computer I type on is turned 'on'.  It is not off.  A computer cannot be both on and off at the same time.  It is either on or off.

On a clear day, the sky is blue.  The light from the sun reflects off of the water particles in the air so that our eyes view the 'blue' part of the color spectrum.  Just because a person says that the sky is yellow, does not mean that it is yellow.

If I have to pieces of information that contradict each other, either one is true and one is false, or they are both false.  They cannot both be true unless there is a factor that is yet to be seen.
