Or the fact that the closest thing to truth, the scientific method, is only the best guess with the evidence available. There is no objective truth as far as we can find.

I like “Objective Truth is Hard.” If one’s perception of something does not conform to what it actually is, then one is in error—no matter how convinced one is and certainly no matter how one feels about it. Many perceptions are distorted and people are often not aware of it.
