Truth goes more readily with faith than hope ever did. Hope is expectation, faith is knowing without expectation.
You don't seem to understand.
The point of finding contradictions and new discoveries and revamping old ways of looking at things is a part of Truth. It's discarding the un-truths and finding the Truth buried deep within. The whole point of Science is "find the flaw, fix it, and keep doing it again and again and again..."
The whole point of science -- and finding the truth -- has to do with reevaluation and being a work in progress. To proclaim something is "right", forget about it, and never reevaluate it leads to Falsehood.
That is progress, and that finds Truth far better than proclaiming something is true, having Faith in it, and never changing your belief, even when new information comes to light.
Faith has nothing to do with truth, nor does it have anything to do with knowledge. Just because you believe in something, doesn't make it true; and if it isn't tested, there is no way of knowing it's veracity as Truth.
