Truth doesn't tell me that a theory might be falsified in the future, science does. It isn't science if it can not be falsified.
True, but science is an adventure in making assumptions that cannot be proven to acheive a loftier goal. Science makes assumptions that cannot be verified as true to get to a different place in reality. That is why they call them theories. For example, to embark on the theory of evolution, one has to assume all processes are naturalistic. To deliver a child, and name it, one need not engage in that abstraction.

"Deity(s) did it" isn't falsifiable, that is why science leaves out the supernatural.
