Anything outside of that can be made up, since there is no way to verify it. Which is why humans have worshiped thousands (probably millions) of gods throughout our existence.
And no, we do not determine that the unknowable is true by "hearing or reading it." That doesn't make any sense at all.

Actually, through science, we do know how the universe ends.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
