the sphere that it was meant to be interpreted.

Ahh, meant by whom? It's then that you get into the realms of belief and opinion. If you believe there is an absolute truth, fine, I can't disprove it. What I object to is the insistence that any one interpretation of that truth is the -right- one. As I was saying before, might we not all be calling the wrong fruit an apple? I'm not saying you have to believe it, just be open to the possibility that interpretation is in the eye of the interpreter

Edit: This will be my last post on this topic, not because I concede or find the argument unworthy, but because I feel we are grossly off topic.
