There are seven basic proofs God exists. Properly, they belong in a separate book all by themselves, but I will cover them briefly here.
(1) That there is a great CREATION is obvious. The very fact of the existence of THINGS; the universe, the solar system, the earth and all myriad forms of life upon it, demands a CREATOR!
(2) The existence of great, immutable, powerful LAWS (and I speak of the "laws" governing the physical universe; the laws of science and chemistry; laws governing the action of water in its three states; the cleavage and fracturing properties of minerals; gravity, inertia, isostasy, etc., etc.). The existence of these great laws demands a lawgiver!
(3) The intricacy of complex design; whether the feathers on the wing of a bird; the eye of a fly; the breathing apparatus of a dolphin; billions of intricately-designed snowflakes; your own muscular, skeletal, digestive and circulatory systems-etc., etc., requires a great DESIGNER!
(4) LIFE exists. Life in myriad forms. You and I both know that life only comes from preexisting life! This is called the "law of biogenesis." Life demands a great LIFE GIVER!
(5) Life only comes from preexisting life of the same kind! Thus, there is procreation, and the sustaining of life on our planet; the constant recycling of falling trees, rotting vegetation; the bacteria which break it down to become food for the insects which are food for dozens of other creatures, which are in turn food for larger creatures, which are in turn food for man; the cyclical character of our symbiotic environment which, like a gigantic machine was once "wound up," and is gradually running down, requires a sustaining force. Inherent within this proof are the laws governing the "conservation" of energy" and the laws of thermodynamics. It is obvious our universe has a great sustaining force-a GREAT SUSTAINER!
(6) Fulfilled prophecies, of which there are dozens, with dozens more yet to be fulfilled, constitute a great proof of Almighty God. Even simple high school or beginning college-level Bible handbooks such as Halley's, or the Angus Bible Handbook contain fascinating proofs from the spade of archeologists corroborating the prophecies of men who foretold the collapse of great empires and the emergence of others centuries and centuries beyond their own lifetime. Now, we are able to look back at such men as Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and others, and see what they foretold actually HAPPENED exactly as they foretold it!
Many of the biblical prophecies are in process of being fulfilled. The serious student of biblical archeology knows that it is axiomatic that, wherever archeology reveals information about ancient civilizations, it always corroborates the biblical record, never refutes it!
(7) The final proof-one which dyed-in-the-wool disbelievers will doubtlessly scoff at-is answered prayer! Of course. God does not answer the prayers of skeptics and disbelievers. However, those individuals who have experienced the answer to PRAYER; those who have been healed of their sicknesses and diseases, who have actually seen miracles performed, are no longer doubting, but believing. Answered prayer is definitely a proof that there is a God who can hear. and answer!
but it's up 2 u.
u believe or not but god exists n' still there r many things which r in his hand only. Man has to obey god n' if he doesn't he suffers.
no science can help him for long.

I think the only way science can give a definitive answer on the existence of God is if someone finds him. It means that it will be a positive answer and that rather a large chunk of science will have to be scrapped, but not all areas of science rely upon the existence of a superior being.

Well, I don't think so because the existance of God depends on faith. If Science, some day, could prove the existance or no-existance of God, people who had faith in God wouldn't believe it.
Anyway, how do you think that Science could give us a definitive answer about that???

Science applies to the observable universe- since God is typically defined as being beyond this physical existence, it's not a scientific topic.
Science doesn't address the possible workings of some spiritual realm which may or may not exist. By the same token, holy books which profess knowledge of the spiritual aren't useful for determining the nature of this physical realm- science is.

No, because it can't!
Science doesn't operate on the same grounds as people employ faith; science is based on repeatable, observable, quantifiable events and forces. You can't run a miracle through the test tube again to see how it reacts under various stimuli. Faith and miracles and so forth REQUIRE faith - which is to say they require you to believe. So you have to believe them in order to believe them, which is the opposite of how science works.
Plus, science can't prove a negative (nothing can), so you can't ever prove God doesn't exist.
In the end, religion is better paired with philosophy. Both try to find the answer to metaphysics (what is the nature of the world) epistomology (what is the nature of truth) and ethics (what is right and good and beautiful).
Science and religion aren't at odds, they are separate and they can't really inform each other at all. One cannot prove or disprove the other.

Science will not, but God proves Himself to be through His creation. How can there be a design without a designer, and a Creation without a Creator?
Also God has proved Himself through His Word the Bible - listen to what Paul the Apostle was inspired by God to write:
But God shows his anger from Heaven against all sinful, wicked people who push the truth away from themselves. For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see His invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.
God is speaking to you right now - through these words.

How can you define something that is inherently undefinable? It's like trying to count to infinity. We contain the universe within ourselves. Get to know your self, raise your own level of awareness and see what happens. Science is a tool but can only answer the questions it is fit to answer. Modern physics has hit some areas that seem to correspond to insights that Eastern mystics/philosophers explored a long time ago. Try reading some Fritjof Capra about this (eg The Tao of Physics) - food for thought.

I don't need so called Science to give me an answer on whether or not God exists. I already have my answer in Psalm 19:1 it says, "The heavens declare the glory of God: the skies proclaim the work of his hands."

There is the realm of science and there is the realm of faith. They intersect a bit. For example a valid test of a "holy" book is whether it conflicts with known history and science. But science is never going to be able to prove or disprove the existence of God.

Yes
Many scientists who are aware that beyond physical existence there is spiritual existence that they know little about and that all the things recorded in the HOLY BIBLE have been prooven and many more still amazes them as they discover the Biblical knowledge beyond their understanding
Simply as they progress they have already proven for those who wants to shown facts
But for all religions all agree that GOD exist
apart from the athiest and the bent scientologists
