Just like black holes and a gazillion other things that exist on this planet and in the universe that we cannot see, touch, feel or smell.
Science can offer evidence to support its views. Religionists can only offer the bible, blind faith and circumstantial evidence all coupled with denial.

I never said that science and faith were mutually exclusive. I agree with your logic (you express yourself quite well). However, God (or our conception of God), unlike the atom, transcends the universe. As a result, it is not available for science, which is primarily concerned with explaining phenomena within the universe.
