So do you believe genes existed before genetic testing? What would you have said to someone suggesting genes exist before there were tests for them?

It is a quite simple question of whether you accept the possibility of things existing, before there is a scientific consensus on their existence. The scientific approach then is simply to say "i dont know" rather than "i dont know therefore it does not exist". Because of this fallacy i also consider atheists to be people of faith rather than science. They should just not conflate the two and claim their faith to be science.
