No, science arrives at end points all the time. That usually points out things that we don't know. But the discovery of those new things adds to the truth that we have. It doesn't destroy it.

Two things to remember. One, if religion is true, then there should be no contradiction with science. Some of the first scientists were people who saw science as a sacred duty, because through it we learned more about God's world and understood how God worked in creation. If what we see in nature seems to contradict the word of God, it means we aren't looking at God's word in the proper light. It says nothing of the truth of Scripture itself, only our own blindness (remember, even Jesus' disciples didn't know what He was saying half the time). Second, the only thing in Scripture that science really contradicts is the Creation story taken literally. The miracles talked about in Scripture are, of course, impossible according to science, but that's the whole point: miracles are when God, in his sovereignty over His creation, suspends the laws of nature to do something specific. So saying that science disproves miracles isn't really saying anything at all; it would be more accurate to say "if this event happened, science shows it must have been a miracle."

I think that science is a way to prove truths. People's "truths" are different to everyone. People believe different things no matter what science "proves." There will not be a day here on earth when we see science reach perfection. IT is just not possible. A good book I recommend "A Case for A Creator."

Inverse is right, you have things backwards.
1 Cor. 13: 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
Jesus is the "Way, Truth and Life". All revelation knowledge comes from God. That's why many none christian nations did not have patent laws until recently, they didn't need them because they didn't have any inventions.

If your following along the idea that scientific truth is absolute then I suppose eventually you would have to come to this conclusion. I am of the mind that truth is perception and perception is always in flux. To me truth is always being created, destroyed, and recreated.
Truth is only truth within a certain context. If you change the variables of the context is it still truth? For example many would save that gravity is a universal truth, and within the context of our earth perhaps it can be. If you venture out into the cosmos gravity no longer takes on the same truthfulness that we give it on earth.
So first remove all perceptions and all non perceptions and answer the question for yourself.
Namaste !
P.S. and please understand that the above to is just perceptions of mine

First of all, truth has nothing to do with science.
Science is about acquiring knowledge and understanding about what we perceive as the universe around us.
As science moves forward, our knowledge improves and therefore our understanding about how the universe operates.
Truth is a philosophic concept that doesn't care how much you understand or believe or guess.
Science gets better and better at explaining how and why the human body ages and how we can improve our health and perhaps prolong our life.
The truth is.....
WE WILL DIE!

well no, that is not the idea. you mistake the shelflife of "working theory" with truth. In Popper's theory of science (which I think the book borrows from), every scientific theory has to be falsifiable. Therefore, it would presumably be falsified sooner or later. However, the newer theories would get closer and closer to the truth, but never actually be truth. The truth remains out there, as it were.

Science only destroys old truths when a more correct truth is disocvered. At some point, the absolute truth will be discovered. Science cannot destroy the absolute truth, because there is no greater truth to replace it with.

Science destroy myths - truth was there and will always be there and science can only act in clarifying our vision or perception.
Thanks for some of the great answers - i enjoyed reading and also you for a good question.

Think about the scholar and the tea cup. The master pored until the cup was full. Then he kept poring. The tea spilled.
We can not learn without being able to also learn of our ignorance. Science does not destroy the truth, any more that light destroys shadows.
Thank you, I had no easy answer to your question, and am not sure of the one I gave.
