Ergo, that final truth is not in science, so religion has a thoery on that final truth, that science will never find, that doesn't make it a lie, it makes it a theory that will be proven or disproven to each and every one of us upon our deaths.
I guess it's easy for me to jump to "lie" simply because thats what I think it is. Need to work on that!
Thats what makes me uneasy, you cant prove it until your dead so youll never really know if your wrong-only if your right!

Many people are forgeting that religion was created for really one purpose (originally)-to answer unexplanable questions. Back then (700BCE) they didn't have the technology we have and had to use supernaturals to explain things. As time went on and sciences grew, many things have began to become able to be proven.
