Truth exists only because there is untruth and vice versa, meaning it's existence is dependent and therefore not inherent. Only the Universe exists inherently and independently so calling it an absolute truth doesn't make any sense.

in that sense any statement is only part of an the universe, even the erroneous ones. |
It's not the statement itself that is absolute, it's what it points to that is absolute.

This like like saying "all socks are white but all of them are black too". It makes no sense what so ever.

All finite phenomena are causally connected.
All things imaginable and unimagined do not inherently exist.
The All is formless and infinite, it is the creator of all things finite.

A belief has nothing to do with facts, it is entirely based in faith. A belief might be true by coincidence, but for the person holding the belief they are ultimately deluded about the truth of the matter. Only the person who has uncovered the truth through careful reasoning and logic would know if that person's belief was true or false.
