The Road Runner Tactic is especially needed by today’s college students.

Why? Because if you listen to many of our university professors, they will tell you that there is no truth.

What amazes us is that parents all over the the world are literally paying thousands of dollars in college tuition so that their sons and daughters can be taught the “truth” that there is no truth —  not to mention the other self-defeating postmodern assertions such as:

• “All truth is relative” (Is that a relative truth?);
• “There are no absolutes” (Are you absolutely sure?); and
• “It’s true for you but not for me!” (Is that statement true for just for you, or is it true for everyone?).

But for those who blindly believe these self-defeating statements, we have few questions that need to be answered:

• • If there is really no truth, then why try to learn anything?

• Why should any student listen to their professor? After all, the professor does not have the truth.
• And what’s the point of adhering to the professor’s moral prohibitions against cheating on tests and plagiarism?

C.S. Lewis revealed the absurdity of expecting virtue from people who are taught that no virtue exists:

“In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them enterprise and virtue. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings fruitful.”

The truth of the matter is: false ideas about truth lead to false ideas about life. For if you kill the concept of truth, then you can kill any concept of any true religion and morality.

So truth exists. It cannot be denied.

Personal Reflection:

Can Truth Be Known?
