By reason, feeling, or divine revelation? Which criteria of truth do we use? Or can we know truth at all? These and many more are questions I am wrestling with. I am searching for truth, but I don't yet know how I will recognize it when I find it, because I have not settled on an epistemology/a way of arriving at truth. (So I feel like I'm traveling without a destination or a map!) But like you, I am trying to think about it as I go. Sorry I don't have any answers to offer yet; I just thought I'd share the way I look at the issue you raised. Mark,
