Truth in court is what a jury believes it is, therefore it's subjective to them.

Wow, generalisation or what! I don't reject it out of hand - some of the greatest scientists in the past were Christians, such as Isaac Newton. It's just when science says "50 million years ago this happened" I often wonder who was there to record it. Now if they said "50 million years ago WE BELIEVE this happened", I'd be much happier man
