It is not "I don't believe or WON'T consider."
It is "I CAN'T consider" because the existence of god is beyond science to say yes, or no.
Until the existence of god can be scientifically shown to be true, god cannot be used by science. Because if I say that Goddidit, then I have created a theory that is NOT falsifiable, because how can I prove that god did NOT do it?
If I cannot prove, scientifically that a theory is true or false, it is not and cannot be a scientific theory.

If I cannot prove, scientifically that a theory is true or false, it is not and cannot be a scientific theory. Using your logic there is no scientific theory for the origin of life and the creation of the universe. (because currently none of these theories can be proven true or faluse by science)
You are misunderstanding how science works. Theories are often "outside the realm of science" - that is the POINT!!!!!!! If science can already prove a theory is it a theory? NO!!!!!!!!!
Using your logic, science can only study things that are already proven (making it impossible for science to discover anything new).
Basically, you are using unscientific, broad-brush statements to try and unscientifically discredit a theory. You apply rules to other peoples theories that your own theories cannot sustain. I think that can be called scientific hypocrisy.
