Because scientists believe in things like "best hypothesis",
"most plausible explanation", and "all evidence points towards".
We are suspicious of something peddled as "truth", especially
when it is untestable in any useful sense. There are degrees of
confidence that we invest in "facts" but unless things are merely
definitions we can not state with absolute certainty the truth of
something. I think it is extremely unlikely that anything like
the Christian view of life, the universe and everything is true,
but I do not claim to know that with absolute certainty.
