Indeed it does...

Nor can you do any of those for Harry Potter, Darth Vader, The Force, Thor and Mjölnir, etc, etc, etc...

That's debatable...

Here, you'll need to define "truth".
To me, a true statement is one that is an accurate description of reality. So truth would be an accurate description of reality.
Accurate, as far as can be ascertained by all of humanity.
Thus far, the best objective method to obtain an as accurate as possible description of reality is science.
That doesn't mean that it is the only way, as you say...
Feel free to propose another method and let the brightest minds among our population analyze it for merit.

Philosophy?

It's certainly not a pleasant thing to do, when you're the victim, huh?
Empathy allows us to place ourselves on the victim's shoes and reject such unpleasantness.
Or are you wanting to claim that you are without empathy and refrain from raping people simply because there's an old rule book that claims that such a rule is against the wishes of the god therein inscribed?
The resulting trauma tends to produce an unhealthy member of society. And society endures better the more healthy individuals it has, so it leads to a positive balance for society to punish and discourage behaviors that lead to unhealthy individuals.

Who said we're searching?
Science is trying to determine how the Universe works.... how the Universe came into being... if, along that path, a god pops up, then it will be incorporated into science.
If it doesn't (as it hasn't thus far), then it is not considered to be a part of reality - merely a fictional character originating in old old old tales from people attempting to make sense of the world around them.
