Ramiro,
You said:

You are correct about science changing it’s dating of the world. That’s how science works, it keeps adapting in search of the truth.

It doesn’t seem to me that “science” is in search of the truth. “Science” is published as having the truth. It was supposedly the truth when I was a child and it is supposedly the truth now. I don’t think that using a rubber ruler is helpful at determining the truth.
You said:

There are new dating methods with clear empirical evidence such as fossil evidence, Radio-carbon dating, ice core samples, just to name a few. Is denying this kind of evidence part of the pursuit of truth?

There are two sides to the story so that what is claimed as “evidence” has been challenged. Answersingenesis.org has brought a serious challenge to the “evidence” of science that appears to dispute the Bible’s record. I highly recommend their web site.

Is truth really consistent? The world would still be flat and we would be at the center of the universe if truth was consistent.

Real truth is consistent. Faulty “facts” disguised as truth will not be consistent. The world was never flat and the Bible gives evidence of that even before any worldly scientist understood that fact.

Do history books tell the truth? Do I tell the truth? Do you tell the truth? I could tell you that I tell the truth and would you have to believe me? No, you obviously wouldn’t have to believe me.
I’ve put aside my assumptions. I’ve kept myself open to new understanding. I hold my beliefs in an open hand and not a tight fist.

What is claimed as truth needs to be measured by something that is really true. We are told by the Scriptures that we are to test all things and to hold fast to what is true. When I am corrected by the truth of the Scriptures, I will let my false ideas go. But I will never test the Scriptures by science. The most important test for spiritual truth is to have the straight edge of God’s truth to test all things. This is what I aim to do and I encourage all here to do the same.

Thanks for asking!
