Abstract
The 1900s' truth criteria were easily met in science but not easily met in the humanities and religions. This approach was founded in the classical view of science: describing the research so that others may replicate it. This new approach gave science a major way of establishing truth not available to humanities and religion. Physics was seen as the base of science, with natural and social sciences built upon it as in a pyramid. The advent of postmodernism called the notion of “finding the truth” into question. Exegesis of a radical postmodernism shows that science provides nomothetic truth, that is, truth based on replication, whereas the humanities and revelation provide idiographic truth, that is, truth based on a unique experience, and each has separate rules for justifying a belief. The resulting dual pyramid, one for science and one for humanities, provides bases of beliefs in truths in the sciences, including psychology, and in the humanities, including religion.
