I think I can answer this. Scientists do not control the definition of the word 'science'.
Scientists are overwhelmingly paid by government grants, not student tuition money.
Therefore, the government ultimately decides how scientists practice 'science', and thus, control the meaning of the word 'science'.
Now, lemme think, what political party treats gov't as a religion .... oh, yes; ... godless, atheistic, liberal democrats.
'Science', then, is what liberal democrats use to spread godlessness, and to confuse ordinary citizens, who can't afford a private education, and so thereby prevent them from voting Republican.

Public school, huh? Well, you flunked logic 101. This is tinfoil hat-wearing, conspiracy theory muddling at its best.
Want some?
You must be right. Thank you for alerting me to my limitations. By the way, you believe in God, yes?
nah, but if ya got a spare bottle or two I'd be much obliged
Oollllhh Nooooo!!!! The Evolution Nazis are coming.
The main difference between theologians and scientists is that scientists change their theories when new facts become available. Theologians have their minds made up and don't want to confused by the facts.
'What is science'?
Science is a basis of inquiry, using the formation and testing of an hypothesis, it's results must be duplicateable. Evolution is a theory, not a fact. It's fine as a theory, but anything that starts with a premise of "first there was nothing, and now there is everything" is leaving out something critical. IMHO, and I went to publick skool too, and got a 95 on the NY State Bio Regents.
You gotta wonder about the fear on the left, such craven fear they all exhibit, what is it they are so afraid of? They're weird, they really are.
I think you must be confusing theologians with believers (most aren't; it's just their job).
I too have noticed that understanding the history of fraud in science is a topic most evolutionists find .... boring. I don't think its an accident.
Science and reason are the anthitisis to Darwinism. Evolution and thus Naturalism were only created because science found that Materialim (the belief that the earth just was- no end and no beginning) was impossible by the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (matter is in a constant state of disinigration and decay- thus our bodies break down and our cars rust). So those who refused to subscribe to a Theistic belief worked to create a theory that did not have a transcendent Creator (historians even recoginze that Darwin was first committed to the philosophy of naturalism and worked to create a theory that furthered his world view). Even Darwin's experiments did not point to an evolutionary cause and effect but back to a transcendent Creator.
Not sure when you took the Regent's but you seem to have some of the material wrong.
Most astronomy is not based on reproducible results.
Evolutionary theory does not address the origin of life and therefore does not start with nothing. It is a theory that proposes a mechanism to explain observations by biologists. Just like Gravitational Theory seeks to explain why things go splat.
The Bible has been around way longer than Darwin.
The main similarity between some theologians and some scientists is that at some point attachment to old fact becomes belief. These scientists have their minds made up and they become theologians. It is precisely at this point that all are equal part scientist and theologian.
Science is a process, not an identity.
Never heard of such an account of science or evolutionists believing that earth had no end or beginning. The whole statement seems nonsensical.
