Because creationist(YEC) do not have the resources that evolutionist have to rely on. You would think that with all the resources they [scientists who accept evolution] do have that more tests would be done to disprove the existance of God instead of resorting to personal opinions and personal attacks of those who even dare to differ.

Maybe -- just MAYBE -- they're only in it for the science, just as they say.
Maybe -- just MAYBE -- studying evolution hasn't got a fucking thing to do with God or His nonexistence.
But what a crazy idea that would be...
Citation needed for the "attacks of those who even dare to differ".
Or, is an argument an attack in your mind?
With all the resources that the Church has, it ought to have been able to provide evidence for the existence of God centuries ago.
After all, it's you Christians who say that God exists. We atheists and agnostics really don't care either way.
We have other things to do with our time, than to bicker about whose sky-bully is the biggest.
There have been no attacks on religion by science but theres been a staggering amount of attacks on science by religions.
Sciences only response has been defensive, almost always as a counter to religious misrepresentation or outright lies about scientific claims. YECs are the worst as scientific evidence simply shows how unrealistic a 6000 year old Earth is
Scientists study what is and try to infer what was or what will be from evidence.
There is no evidence of anything supernatural.
Therefor scientists do not address it in anyway.
God is like any myth, you can't disprove leprechauns at exactly the same level as you can't disprove God. And I mean exactly.
This is one of their huge straw-men, Ken Ham perpetrates this misdirection all the time.
They are studying evolution. Religion or anything supernatural has no answers for the sciences so it doesn't apply. They are not interested in disproving things THAT HAVEN'T ANY EVIDENCE, there are literally thousand of mythical claims, hundreds still believed with as much evidence as the Christian God: NONE.
Ikester is spewing the crap he's been taught about science and burden of proof. They have convinced their flocks that they, even the most revered among them never have to prove anything while science, with all it's results and practical application means nothing if it can't answer certain questions. And they move the goalpost on those questions while giving no answers to anything themselves.
Evolution happens whether gods exist or don't. Disproving your God is as futile as disproving the existence of Shiva.
What personal opinions and personal attacks? Scientists are busy curing deadly diseases with the help of evolution, they care little about uneducated fools who fight against windmills.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
