Science is simply the careful and meticulous study of the world around us using tried and tested principles. There are of course many things that science cannot test or prove one way or the other. However, that does not mean that they must have equal weight or validity.

If you are saying that a belief in God is just as valid as the belief that science is our best method of questioning the Cosmos then you could say that about any ideology or belief system, no matter how bizarre or insane it may sound.
