Entries are evaluated using the evidence, critical reason, logic,
common sense, and scientific methods, the same methods used by a US
court of law. It has to be simple enough for the average person to
understand it. To submit an entry, challenge something said in the top
entries.

We are on the cutting edge of the search for the truth, the latest and
greatest source of the truth about life and death on earth. The
contest will always keep us in that position. We are not a dogma like
religions with a fixed view. This contest constantly updates and
improves our knowledge of the truth.

With honesty, open minds, an open exchange of ideas, good will and the
power of the internet, we will find the answers to the big questions
about life.

This truth contest is not a competition with a winner. It is simply
the best way to find, check, and spread the truth. The most clear,
complete, and accurate explanation of the truth of life will be on top
followed by the next best. Everyone wins, because we will have the
best entries together. It does not matter who writes the entries. What
is said is all that matters.

We cannot think of a better way to find, check, and spread the
ultimate truth than an internet contest. Everyone can be a judge.
Everyone can make an entry or a comment. We are not trying to make
money, and we have no agenda except to find and spread the truth about
life and death. What could be more important? What could be more
worthwhile than helping us find and spread the truth? Send this
website to the people in your address book, twitter, facebook, post
comments on youtube, and post links to http://truthcontest.com web
pages, web forums, and blogs. Invite everyone you can reach to
participate in the Truth Contest.

The world's smartest people need to get involved. Let's start the
conversation and do the research to find out what the truth is once
and for all.

We all have to live and die, so the truth about it concerns us all.

If someone came and told you that everything you hold dear, everything
you believe in, everything you thought you knew, all your values, all
you hopes and aspirations, all your love for wife, kids, family,
friends, and society, in fact, the entire foundation of your life - it
is all wrong, it is all an illusion - you'd probably think that that
someone was on drugs or belonged in a mental institution.

In this modern day and age of relativism and liberalism, it is more or
less a no-no to know the Absolute Truth. You are allowed to know with
certainty such things as science and technology, but if you claim that
you have ascertained the original, genuine knowledge of religion from
God Himself, if you profess to know God and the real meaning of life,
you are immediately dismissed as a deranged fanatic.

All religions claim the same thing, comes the invariable response.

Lets examine this typical response of modern man. You see, it is
actually quite foolish. First it is asserted, that everyone says so.
Then the fact that everyone says so, is used to negate what is being
said.

If everyone says the same thing, the logical thing to assume is that
there must be something to it. Not that everyone says the same thing,
so therefore it must be false. How does that make sense? Where is the
logic? In fact, you would expect all religions to say basically the
same things, because all religions are different cultural expressions
of the same Absolute Truth. Surely, the details may vary, but if all
religions are differently conditioned expressions of the same truth,
you'd expect they would mention the same basic principles.

And that's what the Vedic version teaches us - that all religions are
derived from the original religion from God Himself. If this is indeed
so, it stands to reason that it can be investigated and verified. If
it is a fact, it must be discernable. Otherwise it is just some
belief, some speculation. And that is how religion is generally judged
in modern society - some fanciful speculations and beliefs.

Then again, if there is a supreme entity - that which is known as God
- it is a perfectly logical to assume that He has given a process by
which He can be known. But in the climate of the contemporary culture
that at present rules the world, it is very unpopular to claim to know
the original explanation from the Supreme Himself. How can you make
such an outrageous claim, comes the response... nobody knows the
Absolute Truth. It cannot be known.

So where does this strange idea come from that the Truth cannot be
known? It comes from people, of course. It is something the majority
of the population is brought up to believe in. But it makes no sense.
If there is an Absolute Truth, if there is a God, if there is an
ultimate purpose to life, of course it can be known for certain. Why?
Because God, being the almighty, omnipresent, all-knowing Supreme,
surely He can verify Himself beyond doubt.

And if there is no God, if everything is indeed relative and material,
then it cannot be verified. By definition, you can't prove a negative.
That's the funny thing about life - if God exists, it can be known for
sure, but if God does not exist, it is not possible to know for
certain. Note, this is not my opinion, I'm merely stating a fact - if
God exists, it can be known, because then God can verify His own
existence. And if He does not exist, then it cannot be known. It's as
simple as that.

Note how the propaganda-machine tells us the exact opposite. It calls
religious people believers, and atheists are called unbelievers. How
misleading is that? As an atheist you believe in something that cannot
be verified. But as a theist you believe in something that, at least
theoretically, has a chance of being verified.

Thus it can be concluded that it is a an intellectually superior
position to believe in God, rather than the opposite. The first
assumption, that there is a God, has a chance of verification, whereas
the second position, that there is no God, cannot be verified.

But if you dare point out these things - even though they are
indisputable facts - you are met with a wall of resistance - no, no,
nobody knows the truth. God is merely a fairy tale. To believe in God
is no more different than believing in tooth-fairies and Santa Claus.
That's what we are told.

What we can learn from this, is that society is not ruled by
benevolent forces. What kind of society will educate it's population
in something so obviously false? So if you know the truth and you want
to inform people about it, you are up against a massive wall of
resistance.

Krishna says:

Now hear, O son of Prtha, how by practicing yoga in full consciousness
of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from
doubt. (Bg 7.1)

I shall now declare unto you in full this knowledge, both phenomenal
and numinous. This being known, nothing further shall remain for you
to know. (Bg. 7.2)
