- In terms of correct or incorrect is there such a thing as absolute truth?
- In terms of morally/ethically right or wrong is there such as a thing as absolute moral truth?
In regards to question one, my answer would be that yes I think there does exist an absolute truth, and an example I would use is that a mathematical equation is an absolute truth. In mathematics, there is always only one correct answer. Another example I would use is that existence continues to go on forever independent of any human thought.
In regards to the second question, my answer would be no, I think there is no such thing as absolute moral truth. In order to have an absolute moral truth you would have to have an absolute moral standard that is always consistent; no exceptions even at the expense of reason and logic.
What do you think?

2. There is moral truth within a given moral system, but there is none in the absolute sense, simply because morals are inherently subjective. Even a statement such as "Murder is wrong", with which probably nearly everyone agrees, fundamentally is dependant on the moral system in the context of which it is made.

My reply .....It is a fact that there are absolutely no square circles and there are absolutely no round squares logic depends on absolute truths
You say 2: In terms of morally/ethically right or wrong is there such as a thing as absolute moral truth?
My reply .....An interesting question and to me a fascinating topic.For the sake of debate an absolute moral truth would be .....feeding babies battery acid is wrong.
There are other extreme examples such as this but I get your point , I think most peoples morality is descriptive moral relativism
Believers in a god appeal to an authoritative moral standard where whatever god says is moral even if we humans think it immoral.
