Have to disagree with that line. Is there an absolute car? Building? Piece of music? Painting? Computer? Anything?
Come to that - is there a point that evolution stops - where the perfect being has been created (with perfect morality of course)?
I think not.
Its a journey. Its not a journey with a destination. Its not a journey with an unknown destination. It is a journey with no specified destination whose function is the journey itself.
Just to return to the idea of evolution. If we accept that evolution is adaptation to change (usually environmental) a perfect being in one environment may not be so in a changed one. Similarly a perfect moral position in one society may not (probably won't) translate into the next. Perfection (absolutism) therefore fails by definition.
