Truth As A Method Of Study

How shall we study truth then? There are many methods of studying anything, studying nothing, or studying everything all at once. Scientists, unless they are environmental scientists, use a method of study in order to arrive at a conclusion without speculation.

If our method is the same type that the popular news media uses, then we shall have no conclusion at all. We will arrive at a lot of speculation but a conclusive conclusion will not be forth coming. If our method is the same as the one used by environmental scientists, we will have the conclusion before hand, and then our study will prove our predetermined conclusion. If we use the much older scientific method of applying what we know to what we do not know, then we will arrive at a conclusion. However, it may be a conclusion we had not counted on. It will be a conclusion devoid of preconceptions and speculation.

Out method, then, should be the last one. A systematic searching of the facts, as presented by GOD, beginning with what we know or do not know about the Being, and our relationship to that Being.
