Ummmmmm So I am studying for my H259 final, and for it we have to write about what 'truth' is.
In Greek, there are three types of knowledge-
1. Oida: knowledge from sensory experience
2. Episteme: knowledge acquired by reason, deduction, induction; philosophical knowledge
3. Gnosis: Knowledge that comes beyond your senses- such as revelation, intuition, dreams
Interesting. As time has progressed, there has been a shift towards a more Episteme way of gaining knowledge rather than Gnosis.
Scientific truth is through the scientific method, and mathematical truth is through proofs.

I just noticed your tagline of "I kind of rock" and it made me happy. You're pretty funny, you know that?
