This is what I was waiting for. There is no such thing as proof. God could appear before your very eyes and you still don't have to believe it. But truth is truth... even if you don't like it, believe it, or hate it.

Occams Razor is a great principle to apply here. "All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best."

Relativism is just way to complex to comprehend. Absolutes are much more simple. I hope you are not in any kind of research or engineering. Logic is a dictate of absolutes when dealing with electronics. They do not process in relative terms. They run code in an absolute state because that is the only way it works. Your body processes chemicals with absolute instructions. Wouldn't it be funny if it decided to stop metabolizing sugars? Oops, you would be dead though... I guess that is not very funny.

You can say and believe things are relative all you want, but you are only lying to yourself. It either is, or it is not, even while unknown.
