can we know something that has not yet been proven true. The dictionary defines the term truth by reference to the word true, so this is the term we will
define. True may be defined in many ways, such as "consistent with fact or reality; not false or erroneous" or "real, genuine" (Dictionary.com, 2004). The problem is where truth have
not or cannot be tested, these may range for fundamental beliefs such as the existence of god, to more basic assumption made regarding everyday life and the judgements that are
made. Truth may exist in many states. An absolute truth may be difficult to establish, even with different proofs, as every truth has to have some relativity. Many of the
truths that have been proven, such as mathematics truths may be derived from other proofs that have existed such as 1+1 = 2. For many years there was the assumption
of basic maths, but in reality although we know this to be true, most individuals could not demonstrate that proof (Irvine, 1984). However, we can also argue that the proof
f this truth made no difference to whether the belief was true, being true even before it was proven. Here we can see that proof does not change the fact
of whether a truth meets the definition of accuracy, even if proof becomes available. At the basis of many perceptions of what
is true lie with these assumptions that may have been proven by others, or are believed due to an individual standard of proof. The way that something is proven is
