Truth must be proven. Few things in life can be considered absolute truth, most things rely on theories, which by definition have yet to be proven. The strenght, or acceptance of those theories depend on the general concensus.
What we believe true today that has not yet been proved might very well be false tomorrow, but that's all we have.
