Morality isn't truth. Scientific theories are the sum of our knowledge on any particular phenomenon in the universe.
They are comprised of facts (truths) and laws, etc. Facts are also truths in the sense that we can prove them to be true. They all fall under the umbrella of a theory. There is no level higher than theory.
Christianity, Islam or any other religious beliefs are not truths as in they cannot be verified to be true. Every testable claim made in the bible has been shown to be false, not true so it's obvious that the bible is not a place to look to verify a truth or fact
