Science = truth. It's a pretty simple definition.

False. Science deals with methods, experiments, evidence, etc. There are too many truths.

Indeed.

If all scientific conclusions are tentative, subject to revision at any time based upon new evidence and further study...

And if truth is fixed, constant, and immutable...

There is no such thing as a truth in science.

Sorry but you're wrong. Science = knowledge = truth. There aren't more than one truths. The scientific method is a system but it is not the definition of science.
