Wrong, science works the same way regardless of your religion or lack of it. We call this the scientific method. I do science the same way as my atheist research partner.

Wrong. Science does not work by coming up with explanations regardless of how implausible they seem. In science it is perfectly acceptable to say "We don't know".

Wrong, this is faith not science. By accepting this and not looking for the mechanisms by which God did it, we stop doing science.

None of which changes "How science works" so your premise is wrong.

Science does not deal in metaphysics. The existence or non-existence of God is a metaphysical question, and as such science neither attempts to prove or disprove God.
