Until very recently, science has never been associated with Truth. Science is about what is useful and what works to produce technology and better mankind.
Somewhere in the 50s or 60s it became associated with Truth, but since Truth is a constant and scientific theories ("truths") constantly change, they really are completely different. Science is the latest "truth", subject to change tomorrow.

Perhaps you should undertake a course of study in English so you can learn when capitalization is meaningful.

The great truth that every great scientist has come to understand
about the "truth" of the universe as known by "science"
is that with each great leap in science
we have learned that suddenly what do not know
has become infinitely larger and infintely more complex
than we imagined before that point.
The more we "know" the more we realize we do not know,
and the more we see pattern and intelligence in what we
have learned, so far.
