What is the one incontrovertible truth found in all science, philosophy, and religion?
I was brought up in a very strong Christian environment. Unlike my brothers and sisters I was never able to embrace Christianity so I began looking for alternative explanations for our genesis and why the world is how it is. I looked to science and evolution, eastern philosophy, and my own observations of human interaction and from this wealth of human knowledge was able to discern one incontrovertible truth which remains constant in all science, philosophy and religion. Can you tell me what it is?

I don”t know. But I”m all ears. Why don”t you tell us?

Before any kind of intelligent discussion or discourse can occur, there are two truths that can never be argued against. “Truth is”, and “it can be known.”
There is disagreement about what that ultimate truth really is, but that does not preclude the fact that Truth MUST exist, or there”s no sense in talking about it. (Whether “it” is science, art, or literature).

We all have a gap that needs filling in one way or another, that”s about it as far as I can see. We seem to seek knowledge in one form or another, be that from science, philosophy, or religion.

All I know is that I don”t know nothing.

Living matter evolves from other living matter. Something Charles Darwin refused to believe. He was such a smart man.

One thing I believe is truth is that nothing is permanent.
In Buddhism the term is “Anicca”, which is in the Pali language and literally means “Impermanence”
Everything you think, do , see, experience is impermanent.

the law of attraction. if you arent familiar, look it up. and if you are honest with yourself, you wont be able to deny its presence.

Nothing that dies comes back to life in the same form; but all life is life after death.
The first 11 words are mine. Gao Bwo Fu (Juin Tze)
The last six words were originally written by Philip Kapleau (Roshi).
Together, the new whole sentence works, for all of Science, all of Philosophy, and almost all religion except the Pharonic Religion of Ancient Egypt and Christianity.
If that doesn”t work for you let”s try this:
The gravitational attraction between two bodies is proportional to the sum of their masses divided by the inverse square of the distance between their centers of mass.
That would be accepted by all of science, all of philosophy, and every religion I think.
Physicists might quibble that I left out the Graviational Constant, but the sentence is not rendered untrue by this quibble.
Other Physicists would make a quibble about relativistic frames of reference and the effect of near light speed velocities on graviational effects produced as a distance. That”s, again, a quibble. “Proportional” still stands.
Among sh*t throwing monkeys, nothing is ever 100% incontrovertible. So I assume you mean beyond quibble by any rational mind.
I”ll try a third possibility if that”s OK.
I”m going to say that the idea that “Man as a species is more advanced than E. Coli Bacteria as a species.”
I think we can get all the religions onboard with that one (except the “E. Coli is God” sect), and we can get the scientists, (at least the Darwinists), and the philosophers as well (except maybe the Hume and Berkeley people, who really are just plain nuts).
