“Some of what we see, seems to defy the laws of physics. And, since we refuse to contemplate anything above the physical world, we will now postulate a Q-ball which, by definition, is in the physical world but which does not adhere to the laws of the physical world. This is science. It’s not at all like that flimsy, unprovable “supernatural” stuff which Christians use to explain the universe.” [/s]

Postulation of unseen forces and particles to explain physical phenomena allows for testing and measurement and prediction to see if the model is useful or not.

Postulation of God as the explanation for physical phenomena is an untestable postulate that allows for no measurement or prediction, and as such is not a useful model in science.

The Bohr model of the atom may be real and it may not be. But it IS useful and predictive and allows for testing and measurement.

Most scientists in the USA are people of faith in God.
