What makes SCIENCE so believable?

What makes the science explanation about the origin of the world so believable and the Bible's creation story so fictional?

P.S. don't ya dare told me that bible story is fictional because no one has ever seen the "god".... scientist were not in the beginning of time, too.. it's all just a matter of theories and assumptions tho...

The bible story can be tested as can scientific theories. The one which stands to the evidence is the closest to the "truth". That's how science works by ruling out the unlikely and replacing it with "more likely". It isn't something you believe in it's something that is revealed as time goes on. It's like "believing" that the premises below are true:

All men are mortal

Socrates is a man

Therefore Socrates is mortal

This is not inherently something to "believe in". It's something which is clearly true if the first two premises are true.

Logically, evolution hakes perfect sense. Life evolves into higher and to a more perfect being. Religion states that this is all we are, we will not evolve unless God says so. This seems very unlikely. Science explores all natural entities, space, time and anything that has a question. Religion explores human interest and believes that everything else has been made to serve humans. This also is very unlikely. Religion states the universe is only 6000 years old and that dinosaurs and humans lived together. Most Definitely unlikely. I can go on and on. Science is perpetuated by enlightened and very intelligent people. Religion is stagnant and is largely made up by people with visions that are most likely psychosis.

"Scientists were not in the beginning of time", but then neither was the 'man' who 'made up' the bible, go figure

Science is not believable, but rather knowable or not knowable. That which is knowable is so because of experiment, and verifyable facts. And that which is not known but able to be acted upon as if known is so because of falsifyable hypothesis, and observable facts.

It is based on physical evidence and the scientific method which seeks to remove biases and insert cold objectivity.

Verifiable facts

Simple the Scientific method

Umm....facts? Tangible and testable evidence. Is this a trick question?

Because on makes claims and tries to justify them though explaining their reasoning and thought process as to why those things happened, the other makes claims and justifies them by saying god said so

Testable, verifiable evidence.
