Yet, religion holds dearly to the one thing that science says cannot be: sacred truth.
How do you see these ever getting closer together?

If that were true, then let S be any scientific sentence. If every S is possibly false, then so is the sentence: "there is good reason to believe a scientific sentence is more approximately correct of nature versus a non-scientific sentence." Any sentence that is used to justify this sentence itself would be possibly false ad infinitum. Even this sentence is possibly false!
