finite truths.....incomplete truths

Sweet man, that's all that there are.
If you are looking for greater "truths" then there is only what is helpful or harmful, much of which is subjective and non-universal.
Remember, if science has taught us anything, it is that, in the grand scheme of the universe, we lack significance. And that may be the one non-relative truth to emerge from science.

Yep, truth based on reality. If you choose to see pink unicorns or sky daddies, well, your reality doesn't match most peoples, so science won't confirm it for you. Sorry. If you don't like science, why are you using your computer? How do you know it's not just all relative? Why spend the money on it instead of helping the poor - it's that just materialism? What does that make you - starts with an 'h'?

Science studies those truths which are testable. Such truths are not always reliant on human's abilities to sense them; much of science is mathematical in nature. It seems to me that these "truths" are the only ones which can truly be considered objective. It doesn't matter if a person "believes" in them or "accepts" them, they are supported with outside evidence.

Science does provide concrete facts, however, the truths it provides are sterile of spirituality in many cases. In these cases, it is prudent to seek the moral truths in the facts that we see in history, geography, mathmatics, physics, and so forth.

And those types of truth are pretty compelling in the material world.
