Jesster, thank you for your response. Your statement, "That doesn't mean that anyone on the planet absolutely has the right beliefs. We could all be wrong about the truth.", is really what I was trying to get at. Well said.
Are we currently equipped to objectively discover and interpret that one truth? How can we be sure that if and when we discover this one truth that our subjectivity won't be making it into whatever we want it to be?
I agree. I wouldn't make things out to be so futile, though. That's the road to nihilism. We do what we can, and then keep checking the answers with others just to make sure. That's the only right way to be as accurate as possible.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
