its kinda why people say that creationism shouldnt be taught in schools, that religion has no place in science class. So if it has no place in science; how can science therefore disprove it?

That would make the people who are trying to disprove the existence of God the arbiter of whether the "evidence" they seek is sound and/or objective. Pretty handy way of never been wrong.

on another note. Here is a list of famous scientists that discovered remarkable things, things that form the basis of modern day science; who were also all christian.

Physics—Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Kelvin
Chemistry—Boyle, Dalton, Ramsay
Biology—Ray, Linnaeus, Mendel, Pasteur, Virchow, Agassiz
Geology—Steno, Woodward, Brewster, Buckland, Cuvier
Astronomy—Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Herschel, Maunder
Mathematics—Pascal, Leibnitz, Euler
