"Truth" is a word best avoided by science???
If that is so, then exactly what business is science involved in these days?
If truth doesn't cut it, then how can you keep falsehood out? And if science can't keep falsehood out, why should we trust it?

Because science is self-correcting.

And if science can't keep falsehood out, why should we trust it? That's the point of science. It doesn't try to compare things to see how close they match some arbitary standard of "TRUTH".
Instead it determines and eliminates what is false. Working theories last as long as they past the test. It's like Natural Selection.
