God, truth, one, facts, accuracy, consistency, beauty, ultimate etc. depend on the theory or theology referenced by the discussion, its elements, legal and illegal moves for reasoning, relevant questions, and open problems. If this isn't clear, then we are in possible "land grab mode" and more vulnerable to rhetorical tricks, status of speaker, our habits and the usual laundry list. This contributes perhaps to our mucky (as in "unclear") theological practice, although I'd always love to hear if the legal system has come up with "standards of proof closer to reality".
