To be science, in the loosest sense of the term, it must have at least these three elements:
It must have a hypothesis formed from as much data as can be gathered (all of it) in order to construct the idea in accordance with the best-known information on the natural phenomena involved.
It must then have a null-hypothesis formed, a condition under which experimentation can potentially falsify the claim.
It must then submit the results and conclusions to the peer-review process, by which anyone/everyone may reproduce the results, and in this process it must be subjected to scrutiny for bias, assumption, and/or methodological error.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
