No. It's impossible. Science is incapable of proving the existence or non-existence of non-material entities. So we should forget the idea of using science to prove or disprove God. It doesn't work that way, unless one has a certain scientific experiment in mind to do just that.

However, our CONCLUSIONS from what we know about science can indicate whether the case for God's existence is strong or weak. For example, the conclusion from science is that the universe had a beginning. Now, if the universe had a beginning, it must have had a cause. This cause is consistent with the idea of God as the cause/Creator of the universe. Other scientific conclusions can bolster the case for God so long as the conclusions reached are consistent with the belief in God.

Ken Ham's little essay is a good example of why faith is the path of least resistance. The faithful will point to his reasoning without actually putting in the time and understanding required while reading the books he's quoting. He is essentially duplicating what politicians do when they use "sound bites" to defame their opponents. They quote something the other guy says, minus the context of the argument, to manipulate the actual message conveyed. Without context, it would seem that guys like Dawkins are somehow unwittingly supporting Ham's argument.

With context however, it's obvious that Ham is merely decieving the unwitting.

The topics of evolution, the big bang, microbiology, etc. are vast in scope and require considerable effort to fully understand. A few paragraphs selectively harvested by a biased essayist is a laughable attempt to convey these topics, and provides the reader with the nothing more than disinformation; or what can be simply described as "lies of ommission".

You are being deceived. Take the time, put in the effort, study the information, and see the truth.

Do not take the path of least resistance, it'll only lead you to ignorance.

Science can support God and creationism, history can prove Jesus lived, but things like existence of God and the resurrection are based on faith.

If you can prove God's existence through science you should be sharing your ideas.

Science cannot prove the existence of anything: it cannot prove you have knowledge or lack of it; it cannot prove where your knowledge come from; it cannot prove your knowledge will make you happy or unhappy!
The existence of the One True God is the most subtle of all things beyond man's knowledge, wisdom and imgination.
Only His Messengers, the wisest, the most knowledgeable, the most loving Beings, can tell about the existence of God by parables because human language is too poor for its exposition. So, you should humbly look for these Great Educators, listen to them and meditate about their divine Teachings. Otherwise you will waste your life in taking lessons or in criticizing ignorant human beings like me and you.
Pray for your success.

Yes. Read the Qur'an. If a book written in the 7th century says that the earth is spherical in shape and that the planets revolve around the sun (something that Copernicus did WAY afterwards), that proof of the Creator knowing what he's talking about. Read the Quran. Good luck.

Very simply: without God, there is no science; hence, no need for proof of existence of anything. Science proves God all on its own.

Purpleaura1's answer is thorough and impressive. She might also want to look at Arnold Benn's monograph Science and Creation, which attempts to reconcile the first chapters of Genesis to the contemporary scientific explanations of the origins of the universe while being faithful to both science and religion.

Well, one thing I do know is that scientists are unable to prove the evolutionary gap between the earliest primate to humans today. Most of the evolution stuff is just theories anyway. Ask a scientist what has been proven and what is a theory.

Consider will you the human brain. It has the data storage capacity to last 10,000 years. What Evolutionary pressure could possibly exist to cause the creation of a brain with that much storage capacity? Of course, humans may have at one time lived for 10,000 years, and have de-evolved since then.
