It's refreshing to conclude that there is such a thing as absolute truth. One fundamental truth, which is not a secret to those willing to believe, I would like to propound for consideration:
The Bible, as originally inspired is the absolute truth and (to say it with double negatives) there is no absolute truth which does not originate from it. As spoken by Jesus and Peter:
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: I Peter 1:3
There are only two limitations that prevent mankind from accessing this unlimited source of knowledge.

The Bible is not understood when read

Man-made translational errors
In the original paradise, Adam was able to talk freely with God and access this knowledge. As long as he lived by the knowledge from God he had dominion over all God's creation. In our day and time, it takes "rightly dividing the Word of truth" (II Timothy 2:15) to live by this knowledge.
As we overcome our limitations and rightly divide God's Word, we shine as lights and reap rewards for eternity.
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. I Timothy 4:8
