Take the following argument or hypothesis: "If it rained, the grass would be wet."
Now, if you go make an observation and the grass is wet, and you take this to be evidence that it rained, then congratulations you just got yourself kicked out of science.
By contrast, we observe that there is no grass yet theists claim that it rained anyway. You have to take the wetness on faith.
