:No explanation requires no rebuttal.  There are no exceptions to mathematical truths, such as 2+2=4.  If one exception is found, then the mathematical statement is disproved.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:30, 11 May 2011 (EDT)

::2+2 = 0, 2+2=1, 2+2 = 3 and 2+2=4 are all true. They can not be simultaneously true. Furthermore, truth is relative to the constraints you put on the system in which you are observing. which is why 2+2 = 0, 2+2=1, 2+2 = 3 and 2+2=4 are all true. There are some mathematical expressions that can be violated. Mathematical systems therefore do allow exceptions. And furthermore, when you try to apply GR outside of the scope of the system over which it is defined, it breaks down. It's just like trying to plug in x = 2 to the function <math>f(x)=1/(2-x)</math>. Are you therefore going to say that f(x) must not be true since it is not defined over 2, which is not in it's natural domain? [[User:Gresavage|Gresavage]] 20:58, 11 May 2011 (EDT)

#Header:"It is heavily promoted by liberals who like its encouragement of relativism and its tendency to mislead people in how they view the world."|This talks about social relativism and is thereby irrelevant. Furthermore, the assertion that it is heavily promoted by liberals is not cited. You would require that there be some study showing that a tenant of liberalism is to promote the theory of relativity. Should be removed. Citation: No citation needed → irrelevant.
