Science does not attempt to "explain" the supernatural - e.g. heaven, hell, fairies, various gods that humans have invented in their imaginations and in written about and in some cases formed religions around. Science deals with what is real -- not with the endless multitude of things that people can imagine about their world. It's like science trying to explain the ghosts that some people think are under their beds. Science can investigate how the brain works and what makes people believe in ghosts or think they saw a ghost, but scientists ultimately can't confirm the ghosts scientifically, because they are imaginary.
Ghost Busters was very scientific!
Ghostbuster was a TV comedy series:
Ghostbusters is a 1984 American supernatural comedy film directed and produced by Ivan Reitman and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. It stars Bill Murray, Aykroyd, and Ramis as three eccentric parapsychologists in New York City who start a ghost-catching business. Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis co-star as a client and her neighbor. The Ghostbusters business booms after initial skepticism, but when an uptown high-rise apartment building becomes the focal point of spirit activity linked to the ancient god Gozer, it threatens to overwhelm the team and the entire world.

Evil?
People are born good.
Not Christians -- they are born with the stain of original sin
Christians are such "downers". Doesn't seem like they glorify God with such negative attitude. No thank you. I'll love, and laugh, do good works, and find joy without religious nonsense.
