Is there a one answer ?

It is not a debate about my nickname, but I guess my nickname is on the line.

Is there a one answer to the questions in hand?

Like we may see things differently, which is having different perspectives, but does that affect reality?

Like if we say there is X but people perceive it as Y or Z, it is still X.

So the answer to what is that, is this is X, regardless if you saw it as Y or Z.

In that sense I would say that there is a one "true" answer to every question. There is a fact. Other answers away from that fact would be called different perceptions and they are wrong if they don't match the fact.

What is the most beautiful flower in the world? The best song? Many questions don't deal much with facts or true vs false but those varying degrees of accurate perception...or at least personal.

Also, with everything in constant change/evolution - what is true, or truest, today may not be tomorrow or next week. We can try to make everything as black and white as possible for easiest categorizing and comprehension but is it reality?

The first set of questions was about preferences while the other set was about forecasts.

What about the questions about like Does God exist?

Well I say Gods exist and you say God exists...does it make us both right?

I think most people aren't meant to know, but to guess, wonder, denounce, and so on. Many proclaim the room they are stuck in is the entire house - based off of limitations of the senses and our instruments, methods, etc.

Sometimes the best, most accurate, honest, and complete answer is "Nobody really knows".

1= What about the questions about like Does God exist?
If one closes one's spiritual eyes, and tries to disprove the evidence of existence of God, calls that God does not exist closing own heart mind and conscious then God does not exist for them.

I one uses pure state of all above faculties, and clean rust then God exists for them.

2= Existence of God exists from every imaginable angle. Thus in absolute terms God exists.

Other matters do not have absolute sense.

Of course there is isn't only one answer to metaphysical truths, and that's part of what makes them metaphysical, not physical/objective. This is just my opinion of course.

Couldn't have put it better myself :)

What about the question- do gods exist?
Peace be on you. It is like: Can many centers of equal intensity / powers exist and sustain and let others sustain. [remember all times clash b/n worldly super powers! as example; they keep fighting these islands are mine. No they are mine.......Those natural resources are mine. No mine.......Keep people hungry, send mission to sun. No i shall feed people first,,,,,,all sorts of inter-super power struggles have brought the world to todays end...other matters are just covers, names and debates for time passing]

latter edit: super powers means worldy countries with powers, not angels.

Do you think all the angels are always fighting?

Is there a one answer to the questions in hand?

Something I learned from being a computer consultant and writing many lines of computer code, there are many different ways of coming to a right answer. One problem can be solved in many different ways. Just a simple thing as normalizing a database you have to decide how far you want to go, and sometimes even de-normalize to find an optimal solution rather than a "perfect" solution.

What about the questions about like Does God exist?
The answer is yes and no. The question is, what kind of God? What kind of definition of God are we talking about? And in the definition, what do we mean with the different words we're using? Are we thinking the same thing for whatever property we're describing God with? If we can agree on every particulate, maybe we can find an answer, but the problem is usually to even agree on what a god is supposed to be.

You massively contradict yourself and your teachings. In the Bible, God IS tangible. He is always there, performing a miracle or something, whether that is performed by himself or Jesus: he is there. But obviously he got bored of performing miracles and just though: "Ah, screw it" one day and never came back.

Funny that..

I'm not a Bible believer but I do believe miracles (the seemingly impossible) happen regularly.

I think that is what I was asking about. When you say "to know" means that there is one reality, we can't both be correct, but knowing who has the true answer as another topic.
