Then you get the things scientists don’t like to explain, like iron bammers and iron pots imbedded in 3mil yo coal seams, fossilized human footprints alongside those of dinosaurs, signs of pneumatic tools on stone blocks cut for Egyptian monuments, Babylonian batteries, pre-ice age navies mapping Antarctica’s landmass before it had any ice, Egyptian mummies testing positive for Peruvian cocaine, etc. etc. etc.!!

Was it the atomic bomb that made us treat scientists like all-knowing gods? They certainly never had the reputation before that time.

None of that is scientifically confirmed.

But science has never claimed to be "all-knowing", and has never been treated "like gods".
Yes, many people are fascinated with scientific discoveries, new evidence, hypotheses, debates & theories.
Though it often seems that new evidence, while settling one debate, also raises questions for new debates.

Nothing in such processes suggests "all-knowing god's", just ordinary human beings doing extraordinarily careful work on the physical clues God left us of His creation.

And your problem with that is what, exactly?

Sorry for my lousy typo.
No disparagement intended.
Please note misdirected response above.
