It can't.
For a theory to be scientific, it has to be falsifiable. This means that you have to be able to conduct an experiment that, if it turned out a certain way, would indicate the theory was false.
For example, you can test the theory of gravity by releasing a heavier-than-air object from an altitude. If it crashes to the ground, the theory is confirmed. If it flies off in some other direction, then your experiment indicates that the theory is false.
Thus far, nobody has managed to come up with an experiment that, if it turned out a certain way, would prove that god didn't exist. As long as that's the case, the theory of god's existence can't be considered scientific.
This doesn't mean that god exists, or that he doesn't exist. It merely says that science can't answer that question.

The existence of God cannot be proven with science or otherwise.
Religion is completely based on belief. There's no proof that most things in religions are true.
This, however, doesn't mean that people don't try to mix science and religion to try to prove such things. For example, proof of Jesus' existence has been found, but they cannot find proof that he was, indeed, the Son of God. These findings may bring more believers to the churches, as some proof is better than none.

Science can't prove the existence of God, for the following reasons:
*It's not testable. That is, no experiment/observation could be devised that would prove that God exists.
*It's not falsifiable (which does NOT mean "false"). It's impossible to perform an experiment showing that God doesn't exist.
Note that this is NOT a proof or argument against the existence of God. It is simply not a scientific question.

Science can't prove the existence of God in a tube.

we do not need science to prove that there is a God. it is already us...and even science itself...our DNA in our cells are filled with extraordinary information that even thousands of volumes of encyclopedias cannot give, if that is the case, then the programmer must be supremely intelligent. our thoughts, conscience, and our own sense of thinking cannot originate from monkeys!...God really exists! i can feel it, you can feel it! who gives the sense of breathlessness when we look at the sunset, or the deep blue sky, or feel the cool breeze? only God can do that! you just have to believe!...

Science can't prove whether or not there is a god or not a god because we don't know enough information. Basically people can believe what they want because no one can prove or disprove that there is a god. This is my opinion anyway, but others maynot think likewise.

it takes a lot of "faith" to believe in coincidental convenience that everything just happens to work out so nicely...the way it does..
there...i just did
other than that...science cannot physically prove god..since god is pure spirit and has no matter or limitations...

They can't. It's pretty simple , if you are a believer then God reveals himself to you in lots of different ways. God made it so that nobody can prove his existence because he wants you to have faith.

It can't. In fact, it's already disproved the existence of a god as the Christian Bible describes it many times over.

Can't prove it, can't disprove it. One thing is known. History is littered with abandoned gods.
