The point is, there’s no in between. No gray area. Either he is or he isn’t.
If you doubt the absolute, then tell me this. Do you have any verification of the relative?
I’ll go ahead and answer your question about absolutes.
The absolute is verifiable in language.
Take for example the statement: Truth is relative.
This statement can never be true. If it’s true, it’s false.
That is to say, the statement itself claims absolute existence of the relative, which is a self-refutation.
