    Making up whatever you want is exactly how science works. It’s called a hypothesis. In science, that hypothesis is tested repeatedly. This is why science is best suited for repeatable phenomena.

    In this case, neither science nor religion can test said hypothesis. Why is science correct but religion is not in this situation?

        Who says god’s existence is proven? It’s called a belief for a reason. It’s no different than a hypothesis.

          be·lief

          noun

          an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.

          “his belief in the value of hard work”

          trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something.

          “I’ve still got belief in myself”

          Which is completely different from a hypothesis, which is that something might be true and we should test it
