[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4076007, member: 76548"] So help me understand a bit more about your viewpoint on the events that shaped American history. While the recording of historic events can't totally be considered absolute truth, they are factual moments in time. Things either occurred or they did not - these are fairly close to absolute truths. The opinion or reasoning about why they occurred are what is open to debate. Yet for the most part, if the books are well researched and written from the perspective of all sides present and involved, these facts mean that we're able to come to logical conclusions about history that while not being absolute truths, represent the closest we'll ever get to it. History is a puzzle, and the more pieces you put in place, the more the picture becomes clear. Realistically the only absolute truth is mathematics, so to try to hold other things like history up to that standard is a logic failure. [/QUOTE]
