Story : Truth Can Be Tested by Tony Castle

    A Chemist at Queensland University in Australia pours certain quantities of various acids or compounds or elements into a laboratory test tube and then he heats the mixture. He gets a certain result. He then writes down a very accurate report of exactly what he did and how he did it. This is published in a scientific journal in London.

Now a British chemist tests this experiment. He does exactly what the Australian student did and gets the same result. Great! That means that a truth has been discovered, revealed and confirmed.
    It makes no difference if the British scientist tests the university student's experiment 10 or 20 years later. Nor does it matter that one chemist is 12,000 miles away from the other.
    Someone has said. "Truth exists; only falsehood has to be invented."
    Chesterton put it this way: "The worst evils in the world today are not falsehoods, but the endless repetition of half-truths."
