Those things that we call the universe, time and space each only exist as a temporary ‘island’ within eternity.

There was a beginning of time and space - and of the temporary parts of creation, just like an island has a north shore.

In the same way: there will also be an end of time and space and the other pieces of temporal creation, just like an island has a south shore.

While we move and act for a few short years on the island, eternity is waiting for us. That reality - outside of time and space - is our true home.

One day the island isn’t going to be around anymore. But we will be.

Well, hope this flawed analogy was helpful.

I'd say that science is far more into reality than hoped-for "eternal truths."

Oscar Wilde tells us ... “Science is out of the reach of morals, for her eyes are fixed upon eternal truths.”
