Science cannot test anything that's not part of the natural world (= supernatural). If something's supernatural it's irrelevant to discussion, knowledge claims or decision making of any sort.

What science CAN test is the claimed results of certain activities prescribed by supposedly supernaturally originated beliefs or holy books. If "prayer changes things", as the saying goes, then those "changes" should be measurable. Alas, they are not.
