Why we are concerned
There is a popular and disturbing message in the culture that reality does not need to have an objective foundation where it can be measured and tested — instead reality can be a subjective experience of what one FEELS is true. This doesn’t work. Even if one strongly feels gravity is NOT true, and decides to jump off a ten story building, sadly they will hit the ground hard and REALITY BASED TRUTH will tell them that they were tragically wrong.
​
We the people in Kootenai County, Idaho, believe in REALITY BASED TRUTH, that’s why we want to get the word out about the importance of truth corresponding and connecting with reality. Thanks for stopping by. Pick up a t-shirt and help us spread the REALITY BASED TRUTH message to our friends, neighbors, community, nation, and world.

REALITY BASED TRUTH
The question is often asked. What is reality? Reality begins with the existence of an objective universe that presents itself as ordered and purposeful. People of religious faith attribute this order to a highly intelligent all knowing and all powerful master Designer, most commonly referred to as God. Others attribute the order, design and purpose of the universe to an unnamed master intelligence.
​
Still others believe the universe came from an infinitely lucky cosmic explosion that resulted in hundreds of finely tuned conditions that were critical for the miraculous emergence of life. For them, all the complexity of organic life today came about by random chance, i.e. an unguided process of natural selection working through random mutation. Nothing for this person is fixed or constant as meaning can change according to the whim of personal preference or cultural fads. They have no solid reference point to judge the validity or accuracy of their subjective observations and experiences.

A three year old tells his mommy that he is a unicorn and she checks to see if a unicorn is sprouting from his head. She doesn’t find it and tells little Johnny that it’s not there. Little Johnny now has two choices- Believe what he FEELS is true with all his heart or believe what is REALITY BASED TRUTH.
I read something recently from the author of Total Truth, Nancy Pearcey.
"When a baby crawls to the edge of the crib and bumps his head, he learns very quickly that reality does not bend itself to our subjective desires--a lesson that can be painful to learn even for adults."
It’s dangerous and unwise to believe any philosophical position that leads to trusting in a feelings based concept of truth, i.e. my truth verses your truth. Both viewpoints can contribute to truth if they are a reality based experience, verifiable with supporting evidence. For example: Suppose there are two people in a car crash and one describes what happened from an emotional perspective, "I felt like a thousand semi trailers crashed into our car!" and the other from an objective perspective says, "The SUV ran a stop sign and broadsided us just behind the rear passenger door sending our car into a tailspin."

Both perspectives have something true to say about the car crash. Yet to discover the REALITY BASED TRUTH, both sides are important. However, the feeling based perspective must always be subservient to what actually happened. Why? If you solely restrict yourself to the subjective perspective you know nothing about what really occurred in the crash and have very little to say about how to avoid a similar kind of event in the future.
​
Nancy Pearcey continues, "The truth is that the world is the creation of God, not of my own mind. The doctrine of creation gives logical grounds for our belief that an objective, external world exists, with its own inherent structure and design. (Romans 1)
What's more, the Creator is not silent. He has spoken, giving us divine revelation in Scripture. Since God sees and knows everything as it truly is, i.e. anatomy defines gender, what He sets forth in His Word is objective and a trustworthy foundation for real knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. That alone is REALITY BASED TRUTH!

"This is a revolutionary claim in today's postmodern world, with its subjectivism and relativism. We are not locked into the 'prison house of language,' as postmodernists put it. By language they mean belief systems, which are expressed in language, and which they regard as nothing more than products of history and cultural evolution."
In other words, post modernism says experience and truth is relative and always changing based on the present culture and time. There are no absolutes either in the physical world or moral world. You can be anything or anyone because you alone are the ultimate architect and arbitrator of reality, and certainly not God and the revelation of Himself in creation and His Word, the Bible.
​
The post modern cultural evolution and mindset is based on the assumption that the Darwinian theory of evolution is actually true. Cambridge scientist Dr. Stephen C Meyers in his book, Signature in the Cell, talks about the specific information and irrefutable order, design and complexity in just one cell in the human body. Meyers asks the question, "Where did all that highly complex and specified information come from?" Evolutionists can’t provide a reasonable evidence based answer. It does not take an Oxford mathematician to know that random chaos, (one of the underlying assumptions of evolution) doesn’t produce order and design. Only highly focused and reasoned intelligence can do this.
​
The evidence, according to Meyers, points to an Intelligent Designer who is behind the creation and sustaining of the universe and cosmos.
​
If a girl has the biology of a female, and announces that she FEELS like a boy, or a giraffe, and strongly believes that she is a boy, or a giraffe, anyone with a reasonable mind would be forced to conclude she is not correct because the REALITY BASED TRUTH is overwhelming because her anatomy is not a boy or a giraffes. Her claim does not match reality.
​
Ordinary experience teaches us that reality is real. Go kick a rock and see if your foot doesn’t hurt. That’s REALITY BASED TRUTH.
