Science ventures out into the unknown everyday. Hence the term scientific discovery. Science would try to solve a question, a question like.... how was the universe created. The god option would be a path to test.
Sorry you failed so hard there. Agnostics believe that the divine is unknowable.

Science ventures into the unknown, but it does not make negative propositions based upon lack of evidence. It makes propositions and tests those propositions. But it does not state that if a proposition is untestable, then it must be false. It makes no claims under such conditions.
And agnostics believe the divine is unknowable based upon current knowledge. We still have billions of years of evolution/discovery ahead of us. There may be a few, but not many, agnostics who believe that the divine will be forever unknowable. Most simply believe that we don't understand the divine based upon our current knowledge, but that this knowledge is not unattainable ever.
Of course, the definition of divine is not a constant. If we found that a certain entity had created this universe for his own purposes, and had complete control over this universe, we would consider him divine. But perhaps in his realm, his reality, he is subject to certain physical laws and is limited in power. Could it not be possible that he was created by some other entity?
