Absolute truth and human understanding

Absolute truth and human understanding
I think most of us humans agree that we are not all-knowing beings. We are not gods ourselves. Still as it comes to religion, absolute statements fill the room, the blogosphere, books, debate. How can this be? How can it be that Daystar writes "The Word of God, though, is always right", as an absolute truth. Has he somehow acquired a state of all-knowingness, or is this an example of how the wish is father to the thought.
