Can we be certain of anything in the universe?

There are several things such a person who makes the claim that there are no absolutes could say:

1. Nothing is provable, because everything assumes postulates, such as (p --> p) or (p v ~p)...
2. We cannot know reality, because
A. Our only judge of reality is our senses, which are fallible.
B. Say our entire life were a simulation like The Matrix. We cannot say we know reality then!

Now, tell me, if Absolutes do not exist, then why should we believe anything, and what creates objectivity?

Even assuming solipsism, how can you believe anything? Is any opinion thus innately irrational?
