The reason why we can discover absolute truth only in in mathematics is because we can only gain full observability on those things we have built ourselves. All physical things (even those we make) are built from parts with unobservable and thus potentially unknown properties.

And also math is what limits an hypothetical omnipotent being: it couldn't change which numbers are prime, for example. It couldn't change the truth. That's why an omnipotent being can't exist.

Replying to @pavel23
From an observer perspective, anything that can change all representations of the observer is indistinguishable from omnipotence. Even if omnipotence was possible, there could be no evidence for it, so it was never in the class of suitable encodings for reality to begin with.
