Any forums for only the search for absolute truth?

Hello, Does anyone know of a forum that is just for absolute truth, fact.
I find on some forums there are people who just seem to want to look and feel 'philosophical' and I think this will help.
Thanks in advance!

I'd be very surprised if you found absolute truth in a forum

Ahem... this forum? Philosophy is, ostensibly at least, an inquiry into the truth of any question entertained by the cognoscenti; that is, if you understand philosophy under the taxonomical paradigm that other fields which have been stratified from philosophy are still technically subcategories within it, on account of owing their methodology and universe of discourse to philosophy and all of them traditionally owing their origins as well to the work of people who simply considered what they were doing philosophy. E.g. scientists during the Scientific Revolution giving themselves the epithet of 'natural philosopher'.

I guess that would forum dedicated specifically to epistemology? Search for that and see what you get.

Can you define what "absolute truth" is relative to philosophy? What is a philosophical absolute truth?

You want the theology department, not philosophy.

What do you want to know? Absolute truths can be dubious. Not even facts are necessarily so black and white. 1+1=2, unless in binary 1+1 =11

In any case, perhaps you would be more interested in a science forum, but keep in mind, observed and verified occurrences are only fact so much as they are observed and verified. When a better understanding of what happens or happened occurs, that fact too will be replaced with a new fact.

Absolute truth in the a priori field is manifold. "I am Andrew or Ah am not Andrew." ETC.

Absolute truth regarding the real world, entails one and only one observation: "Cogito ergo sum". Beyond that there is no empirical truth of a priori strength. (Maybe the existence of infinite, three-dimensional space is also necessarily true.)

This has long been established.

So to devote a forum for empirical truths is futile, superfluous or redundant; and for a priori truths, there are many forums, which deal with things in the realm of theoretical logic, one of which is a huge field, called "math".

What about in onery? Because in binary 1+1 = 10. That is more-or-less undisputable. I think 1+1=11 is in onery.
