Come on. You don't see a difference between a scientific theory (evolution, relativity, etc) and religious doctrine?
Science, as a method, admits where there are gaps. They don't fill gaps in with faith based beliefs. If there is a hypothesis for such a gap, then it is stated as such.
Religions, in general, place god as an explanation in these gaps. What are the gaps? Well, these are the places science has not yet acquired a theory. Religions offer no evidence, no predictions, no testable anything.
