Do you mean exclusive in that it is limited to its context, or exclusive in that it excludes other possibilities? (Falsification is exclusive in that respect.)

What? Me worry?
Facts define the truth.
We must follow his teaching to find truth? I could get on board with that. I do not find a parable of Jesus that does not make sense.

Facts exist on the human plane. Truth does not conform to human existence. Therefore facts represent the truth only in human terms, and do not define it.

When you are killed you die.
True to the people who think it's true, yeah.

Well, it seems you have found your truth. Now prove your statement.

As far as I am concerned, after studying Hinduism and Islam, the religion that has the most coherent and consistent worldview is Christianity. And salvation does not rely on doing good works or deeds, just one confession.
'that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, " whoever believes in him will not be disappointed ." ' Romans 10:9-11
There, saved, lol
This is a statement concerning the relation between killing and death. Try again.
I am stoked and excited to die now.As far as I am concerned, after studying Hinduism and Islam, the religion that has the most coherent and consistent worldview is Christianity. And salvation does not rely on doing good works or deeds, just one confession.

Doesn't make the statement not true
Relational between metres and centimeters.
No it doesn't make it untrue. It makes it a relativeistic/relational statement (which you earlier referred to as merely opinion due to being relative.)

I'm not quite sure what you are arguing here. I said the truth is exclusive correct? That means there is such a thing as an absolute truth:
1m=100cm (Absolute truth)
When you say that truth is relative, what you are saying is that 1m could equal 40cm; 1m could equal 130cm and so forth. Hence I said truth excludes all these other numbers.

My best explanations start with an indifferent, unaware/non-conscious universe - everything in it falling within the bucket-term "natural." At the basest level there are "laws" that all reality abides by that simply "are" with no further explanation required. Indeed, for there to be ANY sort of perceptible reality at all, it would have to have such a fundamental level at which going "further down" to try and find explanations will simply yield no results. In my explanations, the matter of the universe is simply adhering to its own fundamental laws of action and interaction when elements and compounds come together to form objects of greater, relative complexity. This could be posited as a level of "consciousness" that pervades the universe, I suppose, but that is entirely unnecessary. What is, is. What is not, is not. The matter of the universe seems to always be seeking that best-case relationship, the filling of the void, a more stable configuration. In my explanation, given the right circumstances, materials and time, life is the inevitable result of these base-level laws in action, with the (relatively) complex matter forming life seeking the best-case relationships - which result first in objects that appear to have a "will" or a "plan" (like viruses), and ultimately lead to further levels of "will" and "plan" (consciousness/sentience).
I'll try.
A Fact is created by man to represent mans truth. What he sees. They are true to the extent by being conformable to 1 objective.
Truth cannot be created to express ones objective. Truth already exists.
The absolute truth is self evident and all facts depend upon the absolute truth to be factual.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
