If there are facts- yes if there are no facts, nothing extrinsic, how can you figure that?

If there is nothing to prove one side or the other wrong that doesn't mean there is no posibility that one side or the other is wrong. A beliver in a moral absolute (or even some one who does not necessarily believe in any particular idea about right and wrong as absolute, but who believes that there are moral absolutes even if he does not know them), does basicly believe that there is someting extrinsic about moral ideas. (either from God, or from some believed meta-physical nature of existance, or from whatever). Of course with moral ideas, whether they have any extrinsic existance or not, its kind of hard to point to them and say "see here is my proof".
