Even in science, there is a thing called the uncertainty principle. There are many things we can't observe, and just because we happen to observe things, repeatedly, doesn't meant it is reality or proof of anything. It only means that the most evidence points in a given direction. Also, in science, we don't take a lack of observable phenomena as proof of absence. For some interesting reading on this, google "Higgs-boson". Also, the laws of physics as we know them currently do not necessarily apply everywhere in the universe(s?) Scientists struggle to this day to create a unifying theory of the forces of nature. Until then, if it makes someone feel better to believe in god, more power.
Personally I delight in not knowing, either way. It makes every idea a new discovery... And gives ever more questions to ask. Still, I have a hunch that this all can't be for naught, by naught. At any rate I don't think people are half as important in the cosmos as much of religion presumes, but at least here on earth, religion I would argue is just as important as science in finding meaning in life, something everyone wants. I think we should all just chill a little as a planet and agree at least on the elegance of the universe.

oh what fun it would be to blow my mind and fall into the sun
