As I see it, if it is human-created it is, by definition, not objective truth. How
could it be? Only God is objective. The rest of us were gestated in a womb and raised
in an ape-like family and social community. No big black rectangles around that I can
see...Math and science can have no claim on universal truth until we have multiple
alien races across the universe demonstrating identical use.
Cultural relativism? That's good! Using a political/social term as judgement of
one's own universal superiority is what I was talking about in the previous post.
Scientist= Priest.
