We are animals who evolved a certain way, and we see the world in that way.
Science gives us pragmatic truth, not ultimate truth. We will likely never understand the true nature of reality, but we'll darn well give it a try.
The scientific theories themselves are not truth. They provide a framework for making predictions. That framework is very human, and is always going to be in terms that humans can understand. It isn't a god's view on reality.
But hey, a scientific theory is literally our best claim at actually having knowledge. Nothing else (except the reality of our own experience) comes close.
