How do you determine what is true and what is false?

asalaam aleikum





by your standards, how would you determine what is true and what is false?How do you determine what is true and what is false?
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.How do you determine what is true and what is false?
by emotions and feelings driven in you.





if you feel something its wrong, then why do it, if you do it anyways then learn from it





if you feel something its right, then, why not do it, but without harming others, if you think harming others is right, then you will deal with consequences.
The problem is that in today's society, truth has become subjective. They have replaced truth with belief and think what they BELIEVE is the truth.





Almost like clothing people have come to customize their own brand of truth without regard for whether it has merit or has the ability to transcend beyond their own egocentric viewpoint.





The fact is that truth is absolute and objective. It will remain true whether we believe it to be or not.
In many cases the truth is subjective. Take healthcare reform for example, half the country thinks its great and half hates it. In this example the truth is whatever you believe. Religion is another example of subjective truth.
Observation and reason are usually sufficient for me. Since the existence of gods cannot be verified, deeds and scriptures attributed to them are not evidence of truthfullness.
Seek it, want it, do what you have to do to find it -- and trust God for what you need in addition to all that.





You are not penalized for the wrong answers, but for lazy searching.
Research and common sense. Truth isn't about standards. Truth is simply truth.
Things that are true are backed by evidence.





That's how science works,that's how our legal system is supposed to work but often fails.
I use logic, reason as well as creditable and reliable evidence to help me separate the truth from fiction.
Objectively examining the evidence.
you can determine it by trying your options
Peace be upon you sis,





Truth stands out clear from Error.
I would like to call it common sense....


No different from right from wrong...
Truth stands on its own.
Follow your heart.
Proof?
Wa Alaykum as-Salaam





Well, it looks like half the people here are trying to say: follow your heart, and the other half say: find some hard evidence.





Try a bit of both.
