Ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth. Truth is absolute by nature. All Truth is hidden in Christ Jesus. Jesus is the Truth.

Tentative Knowledge versus True Knowledge
“Science thrives on the conviction that man does not have final knowledge about anything, and that any doctrine, no matter what its credentials, should be subject to inquiry and correction.” ~ L. W. Beck, Philosophic Inquiry
“One of the most common misconceptions concerns the so-called “scientific proofs.” Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a scientific proof. . . . In contrast, all scientific knowledge is tentative and provisional, and nothing is final. There is no such thing as final proved knowledge in science.” ~ Satoshi Kanazawa, Psychology Today, Common misconceptions about science I: “Scientific proof”“In science, ideas can never be completely proved or completely disproved.” ~ Berkely.edu, Understanding Science“You may be reluctant to think that the bungling process of trial and error is tantamount to the scientific method, if only because science is so often shrouded in sophistication and jargon. Yet there is no fundamental difference.” ~ University of Texas at Austin, How Non-scientists use the Scientific Method“The notion that we can find absolute and final truths is naive. If there are any underlying “truths” of nature, our models are just close approximations to them—useful descriptions which “work” by correctly predicting nature’s behavior.” ~ Donald E. Simanek, Lockhaven.edu, The Scientific Method“It can even be shown that all theories, including the best, have the same probability, namely zero.” ~ Karl Popper, Conjectures & Refutations
There seems to be in all this a thoroughgoing epistemological relativism that makes the obtaining of truth impossible; and if scientific procedure cannot obtain truth, it can offer no absolute arguments against theism nor can it say truthfully that ‘the scientific method is the sole gateway to the whole region of knowledge.’ There is no science to which final appeal can be made; there are only scientists and their various theories. … No scientific or observational proof can be given for the uniformity of nature, and much less can experience demonstrate that ‘the scientific method is the sole gateway to the whole region of knowledge.’ On the contrary, a plausible analysis showed that science was incapable of arriving at any truth whatever. ~ Gordon Clark, A Christian View of Men and Things
Ungodly thinkers say they know about the tentative nature of current scientific opinion based on assumptions and dogmatically argue about it at the same time. They can even try to censor anyone who dares to question or test the sacred cows of current scientific opinion. They use irrational terms like “settled science.” Mechanisms of the establishment protect the sacred cows from any challenge. They coerce, persecute, and ridicule anyone who objectively examines the sacred cows of current scientific opinion. That’s protectionism. The system has serious problems. We’ll explore these problems as we continue our journey.
