Hmm. Tough. That you have to ask may mean you'd never know.

But.

There is that which is godly, and there is that which is not. At the least. That's the simplest. Falsehood, well, that is not godly. Godhead may of itself make falsehood impossible. Though there is empirical evidence all around that truth is not necessarily obvious, nor laid bare. The ontological universe in which we live remains subtle, whether we like it or not. We who ruminate upon matters philosophic should take a lesson in that.

Another lesson may be drawn: if Godhead makes falsity impossible, it's an illustration of just how far from Godhead we mortals really are. Definitely deflates the ol' hubris.
