Given the existence of universal truth, I don't see how the number "n" of people who fail to recognize and accept that universal truth is at all relevant. After all, that universal truth is, by definition, universally true.
Yes, indeed. But Dan was specifically talking about transcendental truths. If we have no way to determine those truths, and thus no way to act on them, then they're of no use to us whatsoever. So far, nobody has presented me with an acceptable criterion for a moral assertion to be true, let alone for something like "God exists" to be true.
