But in science when we talk about "correct" we are ...
That gets to the point that was implicit in my post. There isn't just one kind of truth (or correctness). Mathematical truth is different from scientific truth, and one cannot compare them. Similarly, religious truth is different from other kinds of truth such as scientific truth and mathematical truth.
People often talk as if there were some single notion of truth, and that everything fits within that one kind of truth. Theology is particularly bad about that manner of speaking. We need to recognize that there are many kinds of truth, and we easily switch between them depending on context.
