So if science does not reject religion, then all the evos who show up to mock Christianity and push atheism aren't being very scientific are they?

You must be going to different places than I do. The mocking I hear comes from the Creationists.

I have always thought that science tried to answer the question "how". Then they use that as a basis to predict other things (for example, using the law of gravity and its effect on heavenly bodies to predict the existence of a planet we now call Pluto amny years before it was found -- and there are many other examples in science). Sometimes their predictions are right and sometimes they are wrong. Testing finds out which.

I have not yet seen Creationists (or ID's if you want to be called that now) do that. They cast doubt on evolution, but do not use their "science" to predict anything. Without prediction, it is worthless.
