I don't think people like yourself, who make careless false accusations, will ever pass His tests.
The truth is, nobody here "worships" science, it's impossible.
Science, by definition, is simply the search for natural models of natural processes.
Nobody "worships" a model, regardless of how attractive, it's just a model, with no spiritual content whatever.

So, I'll say it again: the events you expect will not be natural science processes, they will be divine supernatural interventions.
Natural science has nothing to say about the divine or supernatural, and the Bible has nothing to say about natural science except that God created it, rules over it and, on occasion, overrules it for our sakes.

True. But there are two kinds of meaning for the word 'science'. The first is as you describe, a useful methodology for testing a hypothesis.

But there is a second kind, which I call SCIENCE!

SCIENCE! is what Neil deGrasse Tyson does when he takes what is normally a neutral term that describes a useful methodology and stretches it all out of proportion in order promote a pop political agenda of pure materialism and atheism.

SCIENCE! is my shorthand for this kind of word abuse. ('Climate change' = AGW is another example.) It is a rhetorical bludgeon used by NdGT, Bill Nye, Ricky Gervais, Richard Dawkins and others to attack any faith belief - other than their own - by asserting that only things that can be seen or felt actually exist (which is itself also a faith belief). It is the same terminological sleight of hand that Engels and Marx had used to promote dialectical materialism. 'Marxism is scientific!'

SCIENCE! directly attacks Judeo-Christian beliefs by design. It attacks the beliefs that enabled free scientific inquiry in the first place (that God is a rational being who loves us and made a Creation that operates according to logical rules, so by learning more about how Creation works we can learn more about Him). SCIENCE! shuts it all down in favor of strict authoritarianism and credentialism in the service of hard materialism and marxist ideology.
