   Considering that by "science" you mean a system of discovery and explanation   
   of the physical world, including origins, by strictly natural means,   
   you are correct. The problem with that definition of "science", the suspension   
   of disbelief required to accept these theories of origins makes it   
   impossible to be intellectually honest.   
      
   "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are   
   clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his   
   eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse" [Rom 1:20]
