Bobleplask, I'm just going to show you where you've used absolute truth to try and prove relative truth, to show you the contradictory nature of your argument.

This is an absolute truth claim.

So what can be viewed from only one angle? The answer is Nothing.
This is an absolute truth claim.

Quote:
So Nothing is an absolute truth. But does that mean that nothing is true or that we just can never find it?
You're playing with semantics now. Sounds good, means absolutely nothing.

Quote:
If you take away everything you have something
No, if you remove everything you have nothing. Nothing is not something by definition - 0 is not 1, no matter how much you try and state it.

Quote:
(in this example you don't get something - you get nothing (but as a something)) that can only be viewed one way and it's impossible to be mistaken by it.
This is an absolute truth claim.

Quote:
And if you put these things into Nothing you get something - alas you can never observe it.
Non sequitur fallacy. It does not lead you to believe you can never observe it (again an absolute claim) by any means.

Quote:
Everything is relative - Nothing is true
That's an absolute truth claim you just used to say everything is relative. Your argument fails in its attempt to define itself.

Not exactly the first time I've thought of this and for now I think the theory is bulletproof. Twist it please
I think you should think again.
