its kinda why people say that creationism shouldnt be taught in schools, that religion has no place in science class. So if it has no place in science; how can science therefore disprove it?
That would make the people who are trying to disprove the existence of God the arbiter of whether the "evidence" they seek is sound and/or objective. Pretty handy way of never been wrong.
