Truth claims
Truth claims are statements that assert something is true or false. They attempt to describe reality or facts about the world, like "Water boils at 100°C at sea level." Evaluating a truth claim involves checking if the statement corresponds with evidence or observable facts. These claims can be verified through scientific methods, logic, or reliable sources. They are central to understanding and discussing the world accurately, and distinguishing truth from falsehood. Not all claims are easily verifiable, especially opinions or beliefs, but truth claims aim for objective correctness based on evidence.
