You are confusing science (the process of discovering understanding of reality) with truth (how the world "really" is).

"Real science" like you describe can almost by definition not exist. Science is costly, both in time and in money. People don't just spend lots of time and money just because. For that kind of investment you need some kind of motive, some reason. And as soon as you have that, you are into politics and emotions.
