You’ve placed a limit of presentism in science, and ruled out explanations consistent with well evidenced theories. Unfortunately, that rules science out as unscientific....but at least it gives us insight into your beliefs.
This, however, is novel to you. If this is how you make choices (say, genesis or evolutionary biology) then sure.....you’re just cherry picking. Others might exclusively refer to only those explanations consistent with theory and whatever evidence presentism can offer. In which case they’re not doing anything at all like imagining that science is unscientific, declaring all options equal.
