>> Not truth, just wishful thinking.
Perhaps you’re not understanding. Clearly. My use of the term “truth” is exactly the same as yours. I have not declared Christian doctrine “truth”. I have declared certain unknowable facts “truth” ... such as the following:
That God either (1) exists or, (2) doesn’t exist ... is a “truth”. I could be entirely wrong about the existence of God, and it would still qualify as a “truth”. The origin of life is a “truth” — regardless of whether I am right about those origins. The ultimate fate of human consciousness after death is a “truth”, regardless of whether Christianity is right about what occurs after death.
My point is not that I am right about the facts surrounding these “truths” ... but that the true nature of these items/events are simply unknowable. These truths are, and always will be, beyond the reach of the scientific method.
My point wasn’t that I have the answer ... just that science will not, and cannot, ever have the answer to these questions. These “truths” are beyond the capabilities of science.

No it isn't. My concept of truth relies on scientific method. Yours is whatever you choose to believe.
