The truths (like mathematical / scientific theories) were proven in the past & still hold true today. The abstract concepts were either discarded when they were proven to be untrue OR they were kept & improved upon through the years.

And what about the scientific theories that were sincerely held in the past, due to evaluation of the current store of information, and then later shown to be untrue when we gained more information? Is there something special about this particular date that makes all currently held theories true? Or is it reasonable to assume that we will continue to gather more information and perhaps some of our currently held theories will be shown to be false?
