Truth and fact are not quite the same thing.
Science takes facts and trys to create theories based on these facts.
Religion is typically told what is true and this does not change.

If religions "searched" the religious texts would change.

You're quite right. I suppose "spirituality" is more along the lines of searching for truth.
But remember that many religions have no texts. Really, only the Abrahamic religions cut short the search for truth.
If I might ask, what is that thing on your head?

It's sort of symbolic ...of the knowledge that leaks out of your head and onto my computer screen through the wonder of technology.

I'm inclined to say science has higher standards, just given science's emphasis on evidence and rigorous proof and experimentation and so on. This is not to say religion is untrue or has no truth. But faith (and please, this is not a criticism, since I wouldn't expect this of faith) is, rather by definition, not based or based only in part on evidence and such. The rest is, well, faith. That's kinda the point...
