Science is just testemony apparently? How would you respond?

I'm scared to watch this video, I think my brain might implode

I'm so sick of religious people trying to rubbish science. Science is the one and only demonstrated method we have for getting as close to an accurate model of reality as we can. It represents the very best "tools" we have yet developed. Throw them away and you have either worse tools, or no tools. Demanding 100% certainty is a fool's game, and you're certainly not going to get closer using "other" methods.

At a very basic level, if it works accurately, it is science. If it doesn't, it is not science. So if whatever crap they are talking about with their religious claims demonstrably works, then it is science and so falls under their own criticism. If it doesn't demonstrably work then it should be ignored. I'm putting all my money on the second option.

If I'm feeling brave at some point I'll watch it, but god damn it... I know I'm going to want to scream at these guys! Religion keeps looking to pick a fight with science, but science is not "the competition". It just happens to make religion look very stupid as a side effect. Too bad.
