Can anyone tell me what science is?”
(Long wait. Sometimes you have to make them look it up in the dictionary. Most definitions come round to, ‘A way of learning about nature.’)
“Right, it’s a way of learning about nature. By definition, any concept of a god involves the supernatural - that which is outside of nature. So by definition, it’s outside the scope of the topic. We can’t measure divinity. We can’t test divinity. We can’t falsify a hypothesis about divinely inspired creation. We don’t spend a lot of time on world history or diagramming sentences in a biology classroom, and we’re not going to spend a lot of time on creationism either -because it’s not science.
Science is not concerned with what you believe.
It is concerned with what you know - the best model we can construct from the evidence available in the natural world.
