The flaw in the athiest science argument can be illustrated by analogy.
UFO sightings, abuction stories, and comet suicide cults are not good evidence for the existence of life on other planets.
Hence there is no good evidence for life on other planets. Therefore the scientific conclusion is that life does not exist on other planets.
However if life is a natural development on this planet then (scientific or not) it exists elsewhere with near certainty even without “good evidence”. So in this case the scientific (according to Derbians) conclusion is almost certainly wrong.
By constraining a definition of science so that it produces wrong answers in a particular case, they discredit it’s usefulness to apply it to that case.
