With the election in Australia dragging on for eleven days now and all sorts of arguements in the media and coming from political parties about who really has won the right to govern Australia it reminds me that the same statistics can be used to support opposite points of view such as in the debate on climate change and whether the economic outlook is brightening or becoming more gloomy. It seems to be the same when we approach the holy books such as the Bible or Quran. We use them to support our position on any subject.
Is there a way for us to negotiate meaning beyond statistical evidence and individual texts?
