Some strike lucky like Eistein (who thought quantum theory was a crock of shite) Newton ( who knew a creator would create laws of nature) or Crick. etc. Scientist don't sing from the same hymn sheet, they can invest their lives in a project that comes to nothing, but they had faith in it, mostly to nought!!
And investing time and resources in a theory that is at least underpinned through theoretical paradigms (whether currently observable or testable or not) is the same as worshipping a divine entity and telling everyone else to do the same....how exactly? I mean, you're really just reinforcing the fact that the scientific method is based on pragmatism (comment RE: Einstein).
You say "it's quite simple though", but I fear a big resounding false equivocation rising from the depths like a leviathan seeking to consume all that it surveys. In short, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make if not the above?
I do appreciate the lack of incorrect generalisations in this post though, so thanks for taking my hurt on board.
