There is no way you will ever see an organized attempt at all the world's major religions to build one lab somewhere and get them to agree on one standard method of collecting data or one standard formula or control group to test and falsify to get to the point of proving which god is real. Believers can be scientists, sure, but when they bring their personal beliefs into it and set out to prove that their book and club is the only right one, they are not being objective or neutral. So the common dodge in the pluralistic west is to treat them either as separate but equal, or overlapping. Again, all religions do this.
You will not have for example, a Hindu astrophysicist, a Buddhist astrophysicist, a Jewish astrophysicist, a Christian astrophysicist and a Muslim astrophysicist in a neutral lab telescope observatory conducting an experiment that can prove which club and or god is the only correct one. So unless all of them are correct, and they cant be, then only one got it right or all of them got it wrong and there is no god.
You also wont have a Hindu doctor, a Buddhist doctor, a Jewish doctor, a Christian doctor and a Muslim doctor ever agree which version of "magic miracle" saved someone's life. I'd say if someone survived, they were never dead in the first place. Being in a window and coming back only means a misdiagnosis if the vitals are not found. But no one has ever survived going beyond that window past cellular death and survived rigor mortis.
So while some people with medical degrees and science degrees do accept science, only up until a certain point when it starts conflicting with their personal beliefs, then they cherry pick just like laypeople, and even then, even with a degree that is not objective.
So when you say "science is pointing to God" well yea, how convenient, and it just so happens to be the one you personally like. But so what, other people of other religions also say science points to their god.
I'd say science points to the evolutionary reason humans gap fill with claims of gods as an anthropomorphic argument from ignorance because they are merely psychologically projecting their own desires and human qualities on non human and non existent things. I'd say God/god/gods are all in your head, nothing more than human imagination.
