Are you asking if ANY absolute truth exists? I'd say yes. Humans die. We all die. There is always an end to our lives.

These are absolutely true statements:
2+2=4
You exist, though who you are is unknown to me
I exist
The sun will rise tomorrow, most likely
Murder is wrong
Living life with purpose and passion is good
Water is wet
Ice is cold
Love is real
on and on
If you are talking about morality, it depends. If you believe in a creator, then a creator creates for a reason. Thus, you can conclude that each of us have a purpose and human life is precious. From this you can draw absolute moral implications, like do not murder, steal, etc.
If you believe we are random quirks of nature, then, in the grand scheme of nature, life is meaningless. It may be important to you, but, that is a different issue, like the instinct to survive or survival of the fittest. From this naturalistic basis you can design a society, and create laws, but, there are no absolute morals, basically because you can not justify them.
Why do you think that philosophy is so screwed up right now. The most fundamental philosophical issue is related to existence, and philosophy is stuck between 2 extremes: is there a creator, or are we random quirks of nature.
And that is the absolute truth.

You are asking beings who exist in a relative truth social existence. Also, 9/10ths of reality is perception. So, there are different realities for different people.
Some religious groups will say that they are the holders of absolute truths, but some turn around and call each other liers and argue about who has the absolute truth.
So, absolute truth could be a reality; but humans can only give their opinion of it based on our limited knowledge of the universe and how our minds comprehend what reality is.

In terms of religion, I don't know. but this is what I know after attending 1/2 a year of studies at the philosophy department of my university : philosophers have yet to agree upon on an absolute "truth".

Yes.
God’s word is true from the beginning (Ps.119:160).
God is the God of truth (Ps.31:5, Deut.32:4, Ps.25:5, Jn.17:17).
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God (2 Tim.3:16)
The spirit of Truth will guide you into all truth (Jn.16:13 )

Absolute truth is a real concept in our reality so yes in a way it is. However, beyond our brains anything can exist.

Yes, and that absolute truth is not diminished in the least when someone claims it to be untruth, for truth is and always will be truth.

advantageous question! The universe isn’t stranger than we predict of; it’s stranger than we are able to think of. We throw words like “fact” around lots. i like technological awareness and the single element approximately technological awareness is that the greater all of us understand the greater there is to understand. The questions of technological awareness aren’t questions regarding the final age of the Earth as some right here think of. technological awareness is familiar with variety of ways old the Earth is, and the fossil information shows that evolution grew to become into the architect of existence. The mysteries of technological awareness are issues like: Why do cosmic rays exist? Why can’t we see ninety% of the universe? How does order upward thrust up from chaos? (Emergence technological awareness) there grew to become into as quickly as a rustic of interior reach human beings that believed that the universe grew to become into created the 2nd you grew to grow to be conscious, and that this universe may well be destroyed the 2nd you died. This perception grew to become into scorned. Quantum physics in spite of if shows that commerce universes are spawning from this universe each 2nd. contemporary study shows limitless numbers of universes each spawning limitless numbers of universes themselves. So perhaps the old Indian grew to become into good. Blessed Be!

I highly doubt it.
But saying no would make the lack of absolute truth an absolute truth, so I'll go with doubting it.
