There are theories with super high levels of supporting evidence, so we treat them as true. This isn't to say that is a bad thing, it is a great thing.

- kubanczyk 4y agoI treat them as true because they are true. I guess there is more than one definition of truth. But I think what you mean that you treat some theories as axioms (temporarily, I hope). It's a great aid in thinking but a great source of confusion for newbies as well.
- sethrin 4y agoThere are absolutely multiple definitions of truth. "1 + 1 = 2" is not true in the sense that "Paris is the capital of France" or "Water boils at 100C" are true.
