2 statements that are mutually exclusive doesn't mean there aren't other options. If you claim objective truth needs physical evidence, then who evaluates that evidence? Surely only us, and our methods, all of which are subjective? So you have subjective methods for evaluating physical evidence for possible objective truths? Doesn't this logically lead us only to subjective truths, even if the truths themselves are objective?
On the other hand, if objective truths require no evidence, then anything could be thought up as an objective truth, but all of these cannot be objective truths since things could contradict.
Hence my position, that objective truths, whilst existing at some level, are not knowable to us as objective truths, only subjective. That is to say:
Claim X is an objective (or absolute) truth.
Person Y believes claim X to be true.
Person Y cannot evaluate claim X on any objective level, so his/her belief in claim X is purely subjective.
So even though person Y believes in an objective truth, they do not know it to be an objective truth, only a subjective one.
I should note at this point that my entire claim is of course, subjective, and so could be completely wrong. I do not claim my position on any objective or absolute level, and I accept this.
