That is the whole point: scientific theories ARE testable or they wouldn't be theories. Theory doesn't mean "hunch" nor does it mean "a story I believe in" nor "an idea that I hope is true in the absence of anything tangible."
We're back to saying that religious beliefs should be taught in theology classes, especially if they all get equal time; specific religious beliefs belong in the institution that harbors the community of those believers; science is taught in school because the purpose of school is to engender knowledge.
