Exactly.
But that does not mean there is not a belief system that embraces truth
and comes as close as we can possibly hope to know at the moment.
Yes, but it also doesn't mean that there IS such a belief system, either.
There is, however, an endeavor " that embraces truth and comes as close as
we can possibly hope to know at the moment." It's called the scientific
method. Combine that with some skill in critical thinking and you're well
on your way to ensuring that the Enlightenment was not all for naught.

I find that many 'scientists' don't start out from an even playing field in
that search. Their use of the scientific method is often postulated upon
something they have no true empirical evidence for, and therefore they
possess a 'faith' of sorts.
