Quote:If the universe consists of a material realm only and there is no such thing as a non-material/spiritual realm of higher ideas and absolute truth. If our reason and science is only the interactions of matter upon matter and has no basis in a non-material realm of absolute truth then why should atheists believe in objective truth? And if atheists do not believe in objective truth than how can they trust reason and science? How can one trust reason and science as a path to objective truth if objective truth does not exist?

Truths are always going to be biased. They are manipulated by our experiences and our beliefs or absent of beliefs.

Science cant explain everything. It would be silly to science could. There objective truths we wont learn them in this life.
