What about science? Science is objective but not absolute is it not?
100% objective and any objectivity is not the same right? 100% objective may be absolute, but what about the objectivity of science? Not 100% absolute objectivity, not "absolute", but still "objective" right?

But if I'm to value anything, if I'm to have any morality at all, how are the feelings and interests or "values" of myself an others not the only thing I can value? If I didn't value my feelings, values, interests, or others feelings, values, or interests - then they wouldn't be values. If I value rocks it is only because I'm interested or find them useful in some way for myself or others. And since then this is all I can value, and since it makes no sense whatsoever to say I should value things I can't, what else could morality be?
