There's ZIPPO "proof" of God in a scientific sense...and much much proof of science in...a scientific sense. They're two very different things.

"Science" is not an organization or social group. Science is a term for discovery. When you mix ingredients together to make a cake, you're using science. When you decide to add more garlic to your spaghetti to see if you like it, you're experiementing. Science is part of our lives. Looking at the clouds to determine the weather, appling cold or heat to an injury, or putting gas in the tank of your car to make it go are all things that we have discovered about the world around us. Science.
Some people spend much of their time trying to discover new things. They do experiments, or collect natural data, and try to determine cause and effect. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong. Sometimes, when enough people do enough different experiements, people become pretty sure that they've figured out how some certain thing works. They call that a Theory.
There are things that scientist can't explain. At least not yet. There are dimensions of time and space that our brains cannot comprehend. As far back as history shows us, people have looked to things beyond their world to explain it. Every culture has religion, every group of people have worshipped something. It's a natural thing for us to need to explain those things we cannot understand.
Can anyone say who is right or wrong? Can we determine if the Jewish God is correct? Or the Christian? Or the Native American ideas of how we got here? No one can. That is the power of faith.
Religion has stood in the face of scientific development throughout history. It was sacrilige to believe that the earth was not the center of the universe. Religious leaders decried this as people saying that God did not exist, since we were obviously his creation and the center of it all. As more people began to believe what the facts were telling them, religion changed it's tone. The same will happen in 20-50 years with the ideas that plague the science/religion debates today. The facts will be understood and accepted, and religions will find a way to still have a relavant message.

There are THEORIES in Science and God. Science cannot prove a big bang theory, that is why its called a theory. Why? Because imagine a rock completely engulfed in fire and heat, then blow it up. How much life do you think would survive that big and that hot of an explosion? None. Something planted life on earth. If dinosaurs evolved into living creatures that walk today, yet the dinosaurs are not here any longer. Than why is it that if we evolved from monkey's, why are there still apes that did not evolve with us? Science is a group of general theories and hypothesis'. Things of the un-explainable they create a theory to attempt to explain things that can not be explained.
The earth is to much in a perfect distance from the sun that if we were one or two inches further away we would freeze. If we were any closer we would burn to death. Can you explain scientifically how that phenomena works? Or how the earth tilts to create seasons as it orbits the sun. Why is that? How did one planet amongst all the others hit that much of a persision position? Why is it that man is the only creature that can engineer or create the things we do? Like computers and TV's if we came from the apes, why cant they even develop small things or develope things in technology at all?
Yes it's not explainable to prove there is a God, but there sure the hell was not a big bang that created earth and nor did we just appear on this rock. Monkey's is not the animal we evolved from, and ghosts are real. Miricles do happen, there are things science can not explain, so in my eyes "There is a God."

BrandonHolt26 makes the comment that:
“The earth is to much in a perfect distance from the sun that if we were one or two inches further away we would freeze. If we were any closer we would burn to death.
Earth gets closest to the sun-about 147 million km away- in January. The farthest point in Earth's orbit is about 152 million km away from the sun and is reached in July.
So it is not a matter of a few inches but instead about 5 million km. Even then, Earth is not close to either burning up or freezing due to those distance changes.
One of my frequent concerns about science is how many people are miseducated in it, or, I believe, purposely taught incorrect information, usually to bring them more in line with some religion. It needs to be understood that religion and science are different.
You can be religious and understand science. No science is going to prove or disprove gods, and no beliefs in religion are going to change reality.

Define "proof".
Every field has its own definitions of proof.
In theology, proof is determined by infallible sources and analysis of said sources. These include treatises, apologetics, bulls, etc. Limited to these sources, there is proof of God.
However, in the scientific arena, proof is defined as what can be measured or detected with one's senses and apparatus. One of God's defining characteristics is the inability to detect Her with such devices. One cannot taste God or see God or touch God. One cannot measure God or detect God's traces in the world with eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or machinery.
The world can be explained without resort to some other source.
Within the realm of science, there is zero proof of a God.

There is no scientific proof of God. God was created by man to explain what he could not explain.

Nope, since proof is rather hard to come by when you're talking about an invisible, omnipresent being.

When you see designs, they demand a designer. Anyone who tells you different is surpressing the truth to push the "universe just is" agenda. God creates, and its all around you. Peace.

No. "Faith" isn't proof.
