I think there can be mulitple truths.  Let's look at a physics/math problem, since they are easier to explain.

A women is riding on a train going quite fast and a man is standing by the tracks as the train is going by.  The women tosses up a ball straight up and catches it as it comes down.  She can factually say that the ball went straight up and then straight down.  However, the man can also factually say that the ball travelled in a parabola.  These two competing truths can coexist.  The women has to use a different formula than the man, but both of these formulas are correct.
