We’ve drifted off-topic here and I am going to contribute to that, with 
apologies.

Humans cannot know “Absolute Truth” because that cannot be known from a 
subjective viewpoint.  What is considered “Absolute Truth” is always a set of 
beliefs and not anything provable or testable.  “Absolute Truth” is a matter of 
faith rather than science.  Indeed, the belief in “Absolute Truth” tends to be 
hostile to science out of fear that one’s dearly held beliefs will be disproved 
some day.  There are many, many people for whom faith trumps fact on a daily 
basis.  They do this through circular reasoning based on untestable assumptions 
and overvaluing certain ideas.

Science does change, intentionally so.  Prior understanding is superseded by 
the discovery of new information which requires a reformulation of hypotheses, 
theorems and sometimes modification of scientific laws.  The rules of science, 
however, remain consistent.  The scientific method has been rigorously 
developed and is fundamental to the practice of good science.

Much of scientific knowledge is very straightforward, consistent and 
predictable (the goal is for all of it to be straightforward, consistent and 
predictable).  We can send machines on decade long journeys of many billions of 
miles and have that machine end up exactly where it is supposed to be, a 
rendezvous with a comet or passing so very closely to a planet that we can get 
unprecedented photographs and data.

This is possible because the physics involved is well understood and not really 
that complicated even though the formulas look impressive.  Understanding cell 
metabolism, organ system functioning, organ system interactions, etc., and how 
animals like humans operate is far more complicated and new paradigm-changing 
information is being discovered regularly.  What seems to the news media and 
non-scientists as contradiction and inconsistency is actually progress being 
made in fields of study that are much more complex than is commonly understood. 
 Scientific knowledge is incomplete and imperfect- and scientists will be the 
first to tell you that.
