You would like measurable evidence but quite frankly things exist that can't be measured. How about a motive in a court case or love. People worship science as if it is the be all end all. "Science operates on induction. The inductive method entails searching out things in the world and drawing generalized conclusions about those things based on observation. Scientists can only draw conclusions on what they find, not on what they can't find. "Of course, that is why the conflict between science and religion is unnecessary. It is certain fundamentalist religions that seek this conflict, not science, because those religions fear that science contradicts their interpretation of their holy works. Science just reports on what it observes.

Yeah, but it seems that People worship Science and it's findings. It is clear that what science says adversely affects society.
So there is a conflict from the Scientist's direction. It is not innocent and free of guilty in the battle. It can't proven God doesn't exist but it seems that it and it's players sure would like to accomplish this
This affects Morals (prove that Morals evolved), it affects politics (Russian commie movies always Mock God - wonder where that comes from), and Columbine Killers, Klebold, wear shirts that say "The strong survive" - He has the gun - might makes right.

Then why don't all scientists agree?
