That is a pretty big problem. Though obviously there are scientists who are working to solve this problem. With many people in religion, I doubt this would be considered a problem at all. Faith does not require reproducibility. otherwise it wouldn't the faith in the religious sense.
Scientists see a major problem in their methodology and they seek to fix it. Theists see a major problem in their methodology and they seek to make sure the tithe payers don't hear about it.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
