Are these claims to absolute truth or are they relative statements?
They are relative to the best measure of what we can know. They're definitely not absolute in the sense that they are transcendent. After all, a pen, the color blue, the sun, Earth, and the measure of miles are all, as far as we can tell, non-transcendent.
