"Yes it is. Science considers only what can be physically observed and can be demonstrated to exist."

So, are you saying we can observe and demonstrate the origins of life?I'm not talking about a chromosome pair fusing in an ancient pony to give us the domestic horse, I'm talking about organic ooze becoming living organic ooze. Ooze that begins to devour the unsuccessful leftovers in the organic soup as it reproduces itself.

If such an idea (central to naturalism) can only be inferred but not tested then it is a mere belief.

Why yes you can, if you try hard enough. Hypothysize, collect evidence and shoot for the theory.

You financing?

Theories are not beliefs. They are not faith, nor are they religion.
