*"Achieving actual, “true”, positive knowledge of the world... is not something modern science event attempts at." * -Well, that there is the problem. And if that's the case, and modern scientists believe this, then why are they always talking about something as if they know it for a fact?
"Karl Popper famously stated that science cannot prove that anything is true, only that something is false." -Well, he is wrong, of course you can prove things to be true.
If you're science is replaced, then you never proved anything, and should not speak as if you know for sure what you are talking about. But modern scientists talk this way all the time.
