Response to What do you believe is true.....

 

"What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?"

Exactly what kind of grammar is that?

I could see this line, "What you believe is true, even though you can't prove it?"

Or I guess, possibly, " 'What do you believe is true' is true, even though you can't prove it."

That's a very strange way of putting it, though.

I wonder what they were wanting that sentence to mean?

I'd guess that the first line is the one they were meaning.

Whether that's true? No it isn't. At one time they believed the world was flat. At one time they believed the Earth was the center of the universe. At one time they believed the Earth was only 6000 years old...

Oh, wait a minite, that's where we are now.
