If something is truly objectively true, it doesn't require anyone to believe in it for it to be true. LOL, true enough. But I reserve objective truth to matters outside morals... Here's one of my favourite declarations of 'absolute truth': The Holy Tribunal in Galileo's condemnation states: "The proposition that the sun is the center of the world and does not move from its place is absurd and false philosophically and formally heretical, because it is expressly contrary to the Holy Scripture. The proposition that the earth is not the center of the world and immovable, but that it moves, and also with a diurnal motion, is equally absurd and false philosophically, and theologically considered, at least erroneous in faith." "And yet, it moves." I'd imagine the dinosaurs would be unequivocal that their complete extinction was a bad thing, objectively wrong... only the mammals might disagree :)
