Your orginal inquiry concerned what would lead me to believe there is
truth. Science and philosophy, inter alia, are ways of testing
propositions. The root being logic. Once all testable propositions are
tested, then what remains ought to be true. This is what leads me to
believe that there is truth. Without having infinite time to regress,
actually testing all propositions is another matter.

Your kind of logic is extremely dangerous and futile in face of religionist.
One of their usual way fo agruing for the god is since all the scienctific
fail, the remain proposition of god therefore must be true. However, isn't
that plausiable in some case everything we thought of is false but there is
still something true? You sounds like if all religion rather than christianity
is "proven false" then it is the only way!
