No reasonable scientist has ever claimed that their theory is 100% correct and that it is an objective truth.
Scientific theories are merely our best approximations of how the world works.
Usually it is the anti-scientific drivel that is full of assertions and absolute statements, which is also what makes it so popular, especially among the less educated crowd.
I agree that making progress is of utmost importance, but the concept of truth is much more nuanced and, imo, difficult to define in objective terms.
