Is truth created or discovered?
I eat a tomato, and I don't like it. "I don't like tomatoes" is a true proposition.
However, my mother continues to serve tomatoes, twice a week throughout my childhood. She forces me to eat them. Over time, I acquire a taste for tomatoes. Now, "I like tomatoes" is a true proposition, and "I don't like tomatoes" is not. Have I discovered the truth that I like tomatoes, or have I created it?

is that how you're going to convince your kids to eat tomatoes? :)
no, i'm not going to share my tomates with them.
I think you answered your own question in one of your other posts. Truth is conditional. Thus it is not necessarily discovered or created, but changes.
