"Shouldn't you, as a scientist, consider something to be false without actual proof of it's validity (or even any reason to believe that such a thing might be real)?"

No why is that ? Science and God are not two opposing things. Why should they be god is out of reach and will be forever. Science handles mostly facts or probabilitys. they dont consider anything as false until its disproven.

God is unreachable and thus science cant make any claims (other then hypothetical) about god. Without beeing unscientific. Falsification is a tool of science and means until not disproven we cant rule it out and things that cant be disproven are not science.

I'm pretty sure in science everything is false untill proven. At most, something unproven (yet) can be a theory, but even then there has to be some sort of evidence suggesting that that theory could reasonably be true. Else you could say pretty much any aberation, and if people cannot provide evidence to the contrary (whoch is impossible if something is a made-up thing, to which you can constantly add imaginary qualities that would justify the lack of evidence - invisibility, impossibility to be seen by mortals etc.), then it would have to be considered true.
