It could be easily argued that the very very bed rock of science is to assume nothing. Sort of that, assume as little as possible.

There is less to explain if one assumes that everything arose from nothing than to assume that there was something that everything arose from. Because then there is the problem of explaining where did that 'something' come from.


But evolution assumes a lot that it cannot demonstrate in an experiment.
