The technical answer as to how knowledge is created:
- Identify a problem
- Guess at possible solutions (what the truth is)
- Critique the solutions and go with the best one.
You can KNOW the truth, but you can never be sure that what you know IS the truth. There is no oracle we can consult or method that will guarantee the truth.
You can think you have the truth, but you can never be sure that tomorrow you won't guess a solution that is even better.
And since it is not possible to guess EVERY possible solution to a problem, we can never be sure we have the final truth, but we might have it.
The truth does exist. There is a reality outside our skulls, but we are stuck viewing a simulation of that reality created by our subconscious for our conscious selves. We can never know for sure the simulation is accurate.
