I can’t call a theory a lie when that theory was arrived at through the limited evidence that was then available to the theorists.
Maybe I would understand better what you mean by lying, if you gave me an example.
Just how did Hutton, Lyell and Darwin lie? I have no argument with their achievements. They all left a body of valuable work, my argument isn’t with them, it’s with the geologists who haven’t moved out of the 18th century.
Looks to me like you've actually answered your own question; maybe without knowing it??? See HERE.
