Because science is never wrong.

That's the funny thing about science. It gets a pass on being wrong about a LOT of things, and yet gets infinite credit when it's finally right about something it was wrong about 1000 times before.

Begs the question, how subjective is the word "right" as it pertains to correctness/accuracy of science?

Science pre Columbus days insisted that the earth was flat. Science at that time was "right".

Personally, I feel there is 100% fact concerning everything within the universe. Science is simply the method by which we eventually prove these facts.

This is why I laugh when people say God doesn't exist because there is no proof of Him. There was no proof of Mars, Jupiter, other solar systems or other galaxies until we found proof.

God may exist or He may not. However stating lack of current proof as 100% factual evidence that God doesn't and cannot possibly exist seems hypocritical considering that's exactly how science operates.
