Personal Reflections on the Question, "By What Standard?"

Piling wood on a blob of hardening concrete doesn’t make a house.

There are metrics to measure, plumblines to plumb, and plans to follow.

Making arbitrary steps toward a conclusion can’t exist when the steps are set in a mire of subjective feelings and truths.

Subjective truths and feelings create cacophonies of chaos and confusion.

Often it is stated that if the voices of subjective truths and feelings harmonize, than it can be an established feeling and truth used to set an objective standard, but that is as laughable as shouting louder to make it more true, or just repeating it more often until it becomes true.
Standards or objective truths aren’t felt or popularized into place, they just are true, and if you don’t believe that, you may want to study Galileo. He was considered a heretic for believing the absurd truth that the earth revolved around the sun.

Maybe it evolved over time?

When evolution goes toward its origin, it is devolving. Saying it evolved is basing objective moral standards and standards of truth on chaos and chance, and a HUGE helping of improbability.

Isn’t that the opposite of a standard?

You see, we humans find ourselves building skyscrapers on sand, and then wonder why it fell and killed so many people, oppressed so many people, enslaved so many people, abused so many people, and the list of atrocities go on and on.

Could it be, we are chasing after the wrong standards? Could it be that the foundations upon which our institutions, progress, morals, ethics, and truth rest are wrong?

So I ask you again, by what standard?

My proposal is setting up a standard that has stood the test of time, even the beginning of time. Before matter and time existed, this standard existed.

The standard is God, in His Holy trinity, by which morality and Truth is derived.
We can know the standard, and learn the standard, and apply the standard as we read His Holy Word—from Genesis to Revelation.
