It'd be time for a good ole told you so, I think.
Christiangirl, if you're going to avoid the question, just don't answer. Seems silly to waste energy writing something while totally avoiding the question, just ignore it.

This is a great philosophical question. I have been a scientist and mathematician for the past 40+ years so I feel quite comfortable addressing it. First you need to understand that the question is not well posed. What do I mean?
Science, of its essence, demands knowledge and proof (by repeatable experiment). The limits of science are basically the existing universe as we know and understand it.
Spirituality, of its essence demands belief, NOT knowledge or proof.
Notwithstanding what you might have heard - there is no conflict between science and the existence of God (or gods). The minute that something becomes knowable or provable it falls into the area of science and (typically) out of the area of faith or belief.
So whatever someone might do to prove god does not exist is just like proving werbles do not exist. Ever seen a werble? You haven't because I just made that name up. There is no such thing. But how do you prove a negative? Very difficult because in most cases you have not posed the question correctly. In matters of faith, by definition, you will not enter the area of the scientifically provable. BUT jus because you haven't seen something does that mean it does not exist? Not true.
I am a Christian but I do not buy that one can either prove OR disprove the existence of God. That remains in the realm of the spiritual and not necessarily a part of our physical universe. Certainly, science, by its very definition, cannot. If you are a student of special relativity you would say that that proof must be outside of our space-time cone...

No such proof exists. In fact, one of the world's most famous athiests, now in his 70's has announced in a Science magazine that his scientific research, especially in DNA have led him to believe there IS a God. Evolution is a only theory because they have as yet never found proof for it.

It just depends on the proof, ive thought about this before. It would have to be proof that could not be denied. And even if they did, I actually would hope theyd keep it a secret, because it would be the end of the world if everybody gave up there religious beliefs and morals.

Science is based on man's research. My heart is where my belief lies and no one will ever be able to remove that from me. What's wrong with believing in God? If you could give me scientific proof to show me harmful effects of believing in the ALMIGHTY GOD, then maybe when can talk ... until then nothing can seperate me from the love of God nor my belief, absolutely nothing.

And if science proved there was GOD would it turn your head ???
The Man Who Cracked Genome..
THE scientist who led the team that cracked the human genome is to publish a book explaining why he now believes in the existence of God and is convinced that miracles are real.

There is no real way for a scientist to ever find out for sure that there is no God. God is, and thats all there is to it.

I wouldn't believe it. Actually, newer science is getting closer to finding proof FOR God and the soul. Isn't that interesting?

everything we see, feel, hear, touch, or sense is a creation of God or at the very least can be interpreted that way.
Therefore it is impossible for scientists to find proof in the creation, that there is no Creator.

anything and everything any Scientist can prove is that it all has been given to all of us by God,
so any scientist can only continue to prove God's existence ..because all of their knowledge was given by God himself, and no matter what no chemical or other scientific breakthrough, is all God's work any way. and God already knew about that new breakthrough because he is the one who made it to begin with.
so no matter what any and all scientist think they prove.it will never ever change what I KNOW..GOD exists..
good luck
and
God Bless

The question may be a hypothetical one, but it is the kind of hypothetical question that really can't ever come to pass.
Why?
Because you cannot prove a negative, and you certainly cannot falsify a panentheistic deity who necessarily exists beyond the measurable universe.
