Has science proved the non existence of God?

Question

so, i take it that's a no then

Answer 1

put simply it cannot

science only deals with what is measurable and can be tested.

the existence or lack their of for a Creator cannot be tested or measured and is thus outside the scientific realm

Answer 2

Science has been unable to prove anything. Science promotes theories as if they were proven facts, but all too often science changes everything every 10 years or so. An example - remember the small rock from Mars found at the south pole with Martian bacteria? Did it say made on Mars on it? How did they know it came from Mars? How can scientists determine the universal origin of one small rock? Impossible! This news was on the TV and front pages of the newspapers, however, a few weeks later it was dicovered that the bacteria grown from the rock was from human contamination. I did not see this report on the TV and only in small print hidden away in the newspapers.

Science is there only to serve the purpose of the scientist or government. I know for a fact that scientists dismiss evidence that does not fit their pet theory, so their findings are flawed. True science looks at all the evidence, whether it fits their theory or not. How many great discoveries have been missed because a scientist dismissed evidence that did not fit his theory.

Scientists are really unable to explain how electicity works, yet it does. Science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God because it cannot be objective. God exists because people experience Him in their lives every day and science fails to explain how people are healed of various medical conditions overnight when there is direct evidence to show that the condition was present beforehand. I have seen scientific findings being quietly discarded because they have been proved to be false.

God exists and many scientists believe this. These same scientists are not Christians, but the evidence they have found has proved to them that there must be a superior intelligent being behind existence, otherwise the universe that we see around us would not exist.

Answer 3

No, and I don't think it will. You cannot prove or disprove the existence of something which doesn't exist. I mean how do you prove there aren't any green dogs? You'd need to go through every single piece of land on the earth, and check that there is no green dog there. Now, if you have to prove there is no god, you wouldn't even know where to look. Where WOULD God be if he existed? Where is that? Which bus can I take to get there? Which road should I take? You see, it's impossible to get there and check the place for a god. So, it's impossible to prove or disprove his existence.

Answer 4

How could it? Science can't prove that something doesn't exist, be it God or the Abominable Snowman or the Loch Ness Monster. We might not have any evidence for any of them whatsoever (and we might as such wonder why people bother to go on believing in them anyway), but it's not as if we can prove that they DON'T exist. Science just doesn't work that way.

Answer 5

Science has niether proved nor disproved the existence of god. It is an ongoing argument between athiests and thiests who keep finding proof for both sides of the argument. I, being an athiest, do not believe either way. However, there are some scientific discoveries that could ALLOW for the existence of god. But like i said, nothing is proven. Not yet.

Answer 6

YES and NO.

Science proves the non-existence of God but also proves his (or her) existence. We will always have what they call a "God of gaps". God will always be the explanation for the things we don't yet understand.

Answer 7

Have they proved the non existence of God? Of course not. There is not a logical way to test such a theory. Science usually sticks to theories that are easily testable...such as evolution of course. Though, a theory can never be proven right, it can be supported by evidence. They have found evidence that evolution is possible, and that life could have formed of the basic elements that were contained in this earth billions of years ago.

That is one testable theory. It hasn't been proven right, nor has it been proven wrong. Creationism is another theory. There obviously isn't any reasonable way to test this theory. If you have any suggestions, the science community would love to hear it!!!

Answer 8

No.

First, science and religion ask different questions.

Second, science does, however, demonstrate the incredible design and order that exists in this universe, which may seem suggest to some a creative force or intelligent designer behind the beauty of the natural order.

So in this sense, science could lead one to acknowledge God as designer or Creator... as it is suggested in Paul's letter to the Roman Christians written in c. late 50s A.D. in the New Testament.

"Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse..." (Rom. 1:20)

For myself personally, as a biology major, I only grew more and more in awe of God when I studied the sciences. Amazing stuff, esp. the human body.

Answer 9

Science does not have to prove the non-existence of anything, it seeks to prove the existence of anything. There is nothing to prove the existence of god or gods. Such a thing a creation of people's fears and inability to accept the finality of death.

Answer 10

God exists and he is very real. He has answered so many of my prayers......and I thank him every day. I prayed last week when the doctors told us my mother in law wasn't going to make it through the night, and I told God if he would just give us a miracle and let her live, that I would use that as a testament to his existence to show people on here that he is real. Guess what?? She proved the doctors wrong....she not only is alive....but she is able to talk, move her arms and legs, and smile, eat, etc. That is such a miracle. She had a blood clot that burst inside of her brain.....and the docs said they had never seen someone live through one so severe as hers. Please believe in God....when the impossible begins to happen, and there are no other explanations......you have to believe God had a hand in it.

Answer 11

I think you have the equation backwards. It is actually God that has the burden of proof on it. Science exists. We use it everyday, but God does nothing. Therefore, the burden of proof lies solely in his court.

There is no scientific evidence indicating that God exists. We all know that. For example:

·God has never left any physical evidence of his existence on earth.

·None of Jesus' "miracles" left any physical evidence either.

·God has never spoken to modern man, for example by taking over all the television stations and broadcasting a rational message to everyone.

·The resurrected Jesus has never appeared to anyone.

·The Bible we have is provably incorrect and is obviously the work of primitive men rather than God.

·When we analyze prayer with statistics, we find no evidence that God is "answering prayers."

·Huge, amazing atrocities like the Holocaust and AIDS occur without any response from God.

·And so on…

Let's agree that there is no empirical evidence showing that God exists.

If you think about it as a rational person, this lack of evidence is startling. There is not one bit of empirical evidence indicating that today's "God", nor any other contemporary god, nor any god of the past, exists. In addition we know that:

1.If we had scientific proof of God's existence, we would talk about the "science of God" rather than "faith in God".

2.If we had scientific proof of God's existence, the study of God would be a scientific endeavor rather than a theological one.

3.If we had scientific proof of God's existence, all religious people would be aligning on the God that had been scientifically proven to exist. Instead there are thousands of gods and religions.

The reason for this lack of evidence is easy for any unbiased observer to see. The reason why there is no empirical evidence for God is because God is imaginary.
