The end goal here is to explain why it is that science is successful. The topic of truth is more of a thing embedded within the end goal we're trying to achieve.

Then how about the word 'demonstrable' instead of 'true'? That's the bottom line is science, isn't it: the demonstrability of the conclusions of theoretical calculations.

I'm not quite getting it. Can you say again how you would rephrase the question?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
