I don't know any serious scientist who would make such a ludicrous claim. You're setting up a straw man here.

Accepting that which is not falsifiable as factual, ignoring what we see in the here and now for an unknown possibility of unknown causes. Those things that require either blind faith or outright rejection of reality we acknowledge in the here and now. Bottom line ignoring scientific processes in favor of worldview reality.

Could you explain what you mean by 'worldview reality' , someone's 'worldview' is not necessarily 'reality', it's a contradiction in terms. Otherwise what you've described is religion, not science. We all know you'll do whatever you can to discredit science, because scientific knowledge flies in the face of your inherited beliefs. So, what do you mean by 'worldview reality.' ?

We all have worldviews how we see the world, with it how everything gets measured where we judge as normal and natural.

Einstein's theory of relativity could be very easily falsified. All that would be necessary would be a repeatable experiment showing that the speed of light is cumulative, for example. Evolution could also be very easily falsified. All that would be necessary would be a fossil find of a colony of rabbits in a pre-cambrian stratum.
