"Deity(s) did it" isn't falsifiable, that is why science leaves out the supernatural.

True, and that is what makes science a theory, it makes assumptions which cannot be determined to be true or false. It assumes that because something is not falsifiable, it it false.
Actually, the whole notion of making scientific theories falsifiable was very recent, and came about because of philosopher name Karl Popper. The notion of falsifiability of sciencific theories is less than 50 years old.
