What happened to truth..
The Renaissance..the birth of humanism. It switched positions for God and man; instead of God being the measure of all things, man became the measure. The humanist were sure that man could solve every problem.
For awhile these "learned thinkers" attempted to deliver the truth, and yet the truth-the truth without God, remained elusive.
In time people came to the conclusion that there is no truth.
Modern man, whether he realizes it or not, is governed in large measure by this pessimism about truth..
Postmodernism, belief that there are no absolutes, including truth. People construct their on "stories" or narratives, what is true for one person might not be true for another.
Now truth is relative to each person.
This is exemplified in today's dismissive, "Whatever."
People don't care about anything so long as it does not hurt them or personally affect them.
When asked, "Is something true?" they respond, "Whatever!"
