This is going to be some clunky wording, but would it be better, maybe more honest, to say "...our best scientific theories are truer than anything else we have." Or "... our best scientific theories have come true more often than other methods used." I may not be getting this. What's the objective? To be able to say that our scientific theories are absolutely true, or just the most accurate method we have to explain reality?
