Scientists like their job. That's why they try to appease the questioning minds of non-scientists in religious science ways... science theory as fact. If they didn't, the people would lose all their respect for scuentists. Why? Because REAL science takes way too long to find the answers for the most important questions... Heaven, Hell, God, evolution, life without end, lots more.
REAL science are done by REAL humans, who may or may not have burning questions about whether or not there are other life forms apart from the observable and discoverable ones, being studied and analyzed to date. This is not what REAL science, being conducted by REAL Scientists do: it does not presuppose any of the things the words you used may or may not refer to, id est "god, heaven, endless life" etc., which, when analyzed, represents mere speculative (linguistically articulated) social constructs - at best.
Scientists are gradually finding their way to the understanding that God exists. It is taking them too long for people who want the answers now. So, the people turn to religions that tell them the answers way faster than the scientists will ever figure the same answers out.
Scientists understand that the people are sticking with their religion. So, they have to keep the science excitement alive to keep the people interested. How do they do it? By touting science theory as fact when, they know that they are only guessing that it is fact. But the people don't know that the scientists are guessing. They believe the scientists when they say that the theories are reality... even though the scientists don't know this.
The amazing thing is that many scientists can't even see God in the marvels of the universe that they, themselves, are discovering.
Science fact is great.
Science theory that is believed to be fact is religion.
