If science can't deal with issues of TRVTH, who/what will? Or is science telling us that if it can't do it, then it's just not a problem? So fugedaboudid???

Not at all. Physical science deals with that which in it's province: the description and understanding of observable phenomena. It doesn't claim to deal with spiritual beliefs or moral codes. Trying to apply the theory of biological evolution (for which there is abundant physical evidence) to things like moral behavior is as much of a mistake as trying to apply the spiritual beliefs professed in the bible to modern science.
And your demand for a single, universally-accepted version of 'TRUTH' (whatever that is) is doomed to go unfulfilled. It's in the eye of the beholder. The numerous posters on these threads who reject modern physical science and ample evidence of that.

Funny thing, but that very issue came up on another thread this morning.
