"Science" claims, knows and proposes nothing. People do all of those things.
Some scientists are humble -- and honest -- enough to admit they don't know.
Some say, "we don't know; it could be God."
And some people (scientists and otherwise) say, "We don't know, but
whatever it is, it can't be God." Which is not a humble position.
