Does truth exist? -A fuzzy term.
Can truth be determined? -If only this weren't such a fuzzy term
Do the process of reason and logic allow us to understand the world as we perceive it? Seems so, insomuch as the conclusions can be verified by observation for the most part.
Is the field of science contained within the processes of reason and logic? Contained within, no, but leveraging yes.
Are scientific assertions verified/falsified by the presentation of evidence? Yes
Do scientific assertions verified by evidence determine truth? No
Does the truth of science change as knowledge grows? No, mostly to do with the above.
Is science then true only in correspondence to the knowledge at the time? No, again, the above.
Does the truth of science change as knowledge grows? Fucking christ man.......
Do scientific assertions verified by evidence determine truth? -and the philosoloop begins

Truth, as a concept that you are here discussing, can be said to exist. Anything beyond that is an argument of definitions, which is exactly what I began this whole thing by criticizing. Lemme make sure I have this straight. You choose a fuzzy concept, and then craft a looping rant (with some fun misconceptions thrown in just to make it seem as though the begining and end had something to do with the middle).....in a conversation about armchair philosophy?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
