a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses;
I'm with you.
If by science you mean: We come from monkeys, who came from stars a few Brazilian years ago because we say so, I'd have to politely disagree.

I prefer to be optimistic and see science as the driver of human progress - but our children's children's children's [800 times] children might not be so appreciative of it.

I'm not arguing for eternal God, though the explanation given by @evidence is more plausible than the idea that the theory of gravity creating everything from nothing.

Infinite/God Is, or as God told His servant and prophet Moses: "I Am".
Infinite is also Eternal, .. without beginning nor end, so understanding these two simple definitions, asking "Where did God come from" is a fallacy.

Hello @andy .. are you a BB-Evolutionist who believes he lives on a spinning globe? If so, then "science" has absolutely no meaning, because in Evolution, your environment and the food you eat is what drives your brain to "think" that you do science. In it "science simply happens", chemical illusions and delusions upon the brain.
If you are a creationist who understands and believes in Infinite and Eternal God, then life should be joy and bliss by science, as @Erfisflat explained above, "observing the world around us" and giving God the glory for His awesome Creation. But once science started to "change" who we are, and what "we/me/I" can do, it became a nightmare.
Too late, ..
"Hey Ariel, you want to sleep over tonight, it'll be a lot of fun!"
Without God, science and technology is a nightmare:
Look at this, "Many things can happen in a dangerous world!"
Just how much does it take to kill a human? Or to scare one? Well, just take out a BB-gun and wave it around people and watch them duck. Yep, from a little BB-gun.

I asked physicscentral.com - "what is 'nothing'?" or "Define nothing", and no answer!? Oh, and I'm not about to buy a book to find out that they don't know.
If something can come out of nothing, then 'nothing' is a medium. What medium is 'nothing' made out of? And how would you know it was coming out of 'nothing' and not 'out of thin air'? Are Physicists observing nothing in nothing? Or is it in air, or water, or a vacuum, because none of these are 'nothing' since even a vacuum has light and other radiations going through it.
@Erfisflat - wouldn't it be reasonable for Physicists to understand what 'nothing' is first before they start making up stories of all the things that can come out of nothing? I mean my older brother used to scare me because I swear he "popped out of nothing"!
