I would rephrase your assertions:

To claim that science is the best way to know about the world, people being what we are, is not the same as saying science will last forever.

If there is an all-powerful, all-knowing, perfectly-good God, we should be able to observe evidence of his actions in the real world. An indifferent God, not necessarily.

A lack of supporting evidence for any belief is justification for a lack of belief.
