When theists make claims about the origin of the universe, that's cosmology.
When theists make claims about the origin of life on earth, that's biology.
When theists make claims about the origin of the species, that's evolution.
When theists make claims about the the healing power of prayer, that's medical science.
More often than not, the particular actions of the Christian God are in the realm of testable, verifiable science.
