    There is no truth to find. Truth is what you want it to be: omelettes, or miasma, or supreme deities.

I disagree with this. Some things that people take for truth are not; however, some things are knowable and do not change. Such as: Light travels at c in a vacuum, a photon's energy is proportional to its frequency, fire requires fuel, you can't wake up yesterday, etc. Just because we better understand something doesn't mean that everything preceding it was turned on its head. Often most of the knowable components remain, we just have more and build a more complete picture.
