When these explanations are read by people under the same mindstate, they seem to convey the ultimate truth; e.g. a scientific explanation of the world is for someone brought up in the 21st century much more convincing than a theistic one because it fits the modern mindframe.

Truth can’t be expressed in a story, but only because it doesn’t need to be expressed. It just is.
