[[Nonsense. True is or isn’t. It is objective.]]

If true is objective, that means it’s an absolute and further a universal absolute, whihc points to an absolute truth determiner/creator, yet i’m sure your next argument will be the absolute universal morals, ie: truth, ie: Evil is bad, good is the right thing, is subjective- round and round we go. Philosophers and theologins have tackled this problem of objectiveness for centuries and have gotten exactly nowhere except right back where they started, and that is that ‘one can’t be certain if their is an absolute universal truth, but on the other hand one can’t rule it out either because htere are evidences that point to both a subjective nature of a universal morality, while htere are also evidences for an objective universal morality/truth

I realize you're trying to cover a complicated subject in a short post, but you lost me here. Morals are the realm of right and wrong. Truth is just true. There are no morals in that. I don't know if there are absolute truths, but there are certainly irrefutable truths (electrons have a negative charge — live with it). Is it good or evil that electrons have a negative charge? I guess you could debate that (if you have nothing better to do), but it doesn't change the truth.
