Do you know of a reason?
The definition of objective
Definition of absolute.
Correction: objective law? Eh...I don't like that phrasing.
Objective can have two meanings.
Ontological: What there is to know...
Epistemological: How you know...
You can know something objectively in the epistemological sense, which is to say that the process that guided you to your understanding was free of bias, informed by evidence, and still subject to being proven false.
But that's rarely the way it's used in these conversations.
