How many scientists have told us for instance, that something is bad for your health, only to say the exact opposite a few years later?
Truth seems to be a hard concept to grasp. We all seem to want a 'hard' truth that will stay with us forever. That only works for a limited few things like, say, dead.
For most things, the truth is a moving target. At times it can change radically based on new information or dicovouries.
Truth is also often a filtered perspective on reality. Your position affects the nature of a 'truth'.
There was a really interesting article in Scientific American a couple of years ago on what the universe looks like. Our view of it is often very limited by our visual bias.
