the importance of truth Options

For all of the anti-theists here -- what is the importance of capital 'T' Truth? That is, is there any defendable reason why truth is inherently better than illusion? About which nothing can be said, why is nothing better than something?

Might it be true? Yes. But if everyone thinks it's not true, then you can't prove it is.

How can't you? Everyone in Columbus's time denied the fact that the Earth is round, Columbus proved them wrong.. thats how science advances.. new research and new evidence is constantly being discovered that proves true what ppl once thought wasnt true

Truth is what you believe it to be. If you search for evidence to prove a theory, and never find anything, everyone will conclude that it's not true

But if you find it later on? Like with the Coelocanth (however you spell it ); its a fish that everyone thought was extinct.. and ppl later found living specimens.. thus proving later on, that its true
