And I thought that science was the investigation of natural phenomena through natural explanations, theories, and testing, or the body of knowledge produced by such investigation. Now it turns out that science is a magical being that goes around creating universes.

.. others would say it was God who created the universe.
Yes. They say so without evidence.
