What scientists are looking for is a statement "If there is a God then ...", where the consequence is testable. Instead they meet up with a God that is not directly testable. Believers are asked to have faith, and faith in people long dead that heard voices and saw visions and, for the most part, recounted second hand stories. It is a rcist God that selects one set of people at one time as "chosen", to spread the word as people of superior insight and convert the unbeliever.
Oddly there are many other religions that claim one God, but their God(s) have a different message, a different chosen people. The one thing in common is that their God(s) refuse to be proven too.
Wrong. Any theory only holds whilst there is no evidence exists that it is wrong. No matter how much proof there is that a theory is correct there is always the possibility that a better theory will be found, and that there will tests that one or both will fail.
No.
Religion says "Have faith".
Science says "Have doubt".
