There are many fields in Science. It's one thing to say if we build this bridge this way it will resist to an earthquake of this magnitude, and another thing to say x years ago there was a population of humanoids that did this and that. In the second case our explanation (composed of a set of sentences which are beliefs to be proved as true) is constructed by inferences from our observations (facts): this tool, that wall painting, whatever.

You can't "experiment" god,heaven,hell or angels.These are fairy tales which are based on nothing but ignorance.Their only purpose is power and control. Religion is useless. If you crave for spirituality,then philosophy is a better alternative.
