    Once there was no proof that antarctica existed. It still existed before it was discovered.

    Are you saying that everything that exists CAN be discovered?

    No. I'm saying what exists, exists, whether we know about it or can prove it.

    There's subjective truth and objective truth. What one holds to be true is his subjective truth. What is true regardless of anyone's opinion is objective truth. It's not always possible to find proof of the (objective) truth, but that doesn't make it less true and that's why everyone has his own (subjective) truth. In science most facts are theories and in religion most facts are people's views on scripture or on other inspiration. These beliefs (subjective truth) are estimates of The Truth. The fact that we can't fully comprehend or calculate The Truth doesn't make it any less true.

    Men once laughed at the idea that this planet would be round, because it wasn't proven.

    It depends on how you want to define knowledge and by which means you prefer to find knowledge.

    There is truth that exists beyond man's awareness, always has been. We may never discover everything that's out there; doesn't make it any less so just because we don't know about it.

    If something is true, nothing can change it because it is.
