What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?

I'm surprised you're asking us to tell you what science is.

Falsifiable, testable models. That's science. That is the difference between evolution and magical explanations.

Everything you just said is not science. It's looking at stuff and jumping to conclusions. This is why we have trouble believing you're actually a science student.

How will it be testable?????????????????????????????? You can't just say that. For the 554595th time, lets look at a hypothetical example. We pressurize a lot of amino acids in the lab and they link to form a polypeptide. Have we just demonstrated how it happened? We demonstrated that it CAN happen. Now lets say that I link amino acids together purposefully in the lab. Did I just prove intelligent design? No, I only demonstrated that it CAN happen. We will never be able to say which one DID happen. 

And biological phenomena are not science? it's just "stuff" in your mind. You seem to be under the delusion that science and atheism are synonyms. Because even gene regulation isn't science (implied by you) if it is interpreted to have been put there purposefully and at one time.

 Here's what I'm getting from what you are saying. Materialists don't have an explanation yet, but when we do it will be scientific.
