I disagree. The default position in science should be to avoid jumping to unwarranted conclusions. Thus dismissive atheism, when theists promote their unwarranted assumptions.
There is no "default position" position in science in regard to worldviews. When you start believe there is, or that there has to be, then you miss the mark of what scientific study attempts to do, which is study relationships between two or more variables in the natural world, and without interjecting biases. The only default position would be the "null" and that's what you're testing to accept or reject.
