Well yes, but only if you mean that the objective truth of reality is perceived though a subjective lens. The point is that scientific truth can be demonstrated and verified and there are scientific truths that are backed up by huge amounts of evidence.
And of course in the case of God this is not the case. As Richard Dawkins says: "Science offers us an explanation of how complexity (the difficult) arose out of simplicity (the easy). The hypothesis of God offers no worthwhile explanation for anything, for it simply postulates what we are trying to explain. It postulates the difficult to explain, and leaves it at that."
