Science is not agnostic on this subject. Science states that we search for things that are provable in order to better our understandings of the universe.
Science is agnostic on all subjects. The existence of a motive or creative force is just one of them. There has been no evidence to support such a motive force behind creation or the intercession of a divine force in everyday life. All that means is what it says -- it has found no evidence to support that existence. That doesn't mean it therefore posits these things don't exist. Science posits nothing without evidence. It leaves such things to philosophy, which is their natural home.
This is what pisses me off about the folks who use science as the antonym to theology. They confuse the issue and drag the wrong toolset into the debate, and it does nothing but piss people off and make it hard for legitimate science teachers to find employment in Kansas.
