It is good that we cannot have it as "truth." If this were the case we would still be in the dark ages. What was "truth" in the 14th century in many cases is no longer truth. To question the truth is to seek the truth.

My point exactly. How do we know if what we assume as truth is in fact truth. The point is that many theories have been either altered or overturned thus showing what is believed to be truth, many in reality, not be.

Not believed, but accepted as truth until a more plausible theory is found. In the middle of the 18th century, most scientists accepted the phlogiston theory as truth, but this was overturned by Lavoisier's theory of oxidation-reduction which is still accepted.
