Yes, there is a God ... but I can't say that science has room just yet for Him. Let's just say that, until science acknowledges God and miracles, there will always be a problem. Some, if not most, of the earlier famous scientists believed in God. Despite some interpretations of his words, I believe that Albert Einstein made it pretty clear that he believed in a higher power, that he interpreted as God. However, I don't know if today's science has made room for God or faith. I think for the most part that, if science acknowledges God today, it's only out of convenience. I think that if God were to reveal Himself today to a scientist in the form of a burning bush, that scientist would first philosophize the possibility of whether or not he were having a hallucination or a psychotic episode ... then he would probably try to tear up the bush - flames and all - to examine it further in his lab. Finally, finding no possible scientific explanation, he would chalk it up to an ingenious prank, or even a terrorist concoction gone awry.

Absolutely, there is a God and It is certainly scientifically possible.I recommend you watch The Privileged Planet.
"The achievments of modern science seem to contradict religion and undermine faith. But for a growing # of scientists, the same discoveries offer support for spirituality and hints of the very nature of God...According to a study released last year, 40% of American scientists believe in a personal God---not only an ineffable power and presence in the world, but a diety to whom they can pray."
Author David Raphael Klein may have said it best:
"Anyone who can contemplate the eye of a housefly, the mechanics of human finger movement, the camoflage of a moth, or the building of every kind of matter from variations in arrangement of proton and electron, and then maintain that all this design happened without a designer, happened by sheer, blind accident-- such a personbelieves in a miracle far more astonishing than any in the Bible."

Scientifically you need a definition or some set of effects of this thing you call God before you can go about testing for it. Most people don't even break a sweat on the definition (it's hard!).
Even neutrons decay...nothing we see, hear, feel today will last forever. So if your definition of god includes a claim to immorality it will fail.

In your kitchen cabinet, you've probably got a spray
bottle with an adjustable nozzle. If you twist the nozzle
one way, it sprays a fine mist into the air. You twist
the nozzle the other way, it squirts a jet of water
in a straight line. You turn that nozzle to the exact
position you want so you can wash a mirror, clean up
a spill, or whatever.
If the universe had expanded a little faster, the
matter would have sprayed out into space like fine
mist from a water bottle - so fast that a gazillion
particles of dust would speed into infinity and never even
form a single star.
If the universe had expanded just a little slower, the
material would have dribbled out like big drops of water,
then collapsed back where it came from by the force
of gravity.
A little too fast, and you get a meaningless
spray of fine dust. A little too slow, and the whole
universe collapses back into one big black hole.
The surprising thing is just how narrow the difference
is. To strike the perfect balance between too fast and
too slow, the force, something that physicists call
"the Dark Energy Term" had to be accurate to one part in
ten with 120 zeros.
If you wrote this as a decimal, the number would
look like this:
0.000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000000000000001
In their paper "Disturbing Implications of
a Cosmological Constant" two atheist scientists
from Stanford University stated that the existence of
this dark energy term "Would have required a miracle...
An external agent, external to space and time, intervened
in cosmic history for reasons of its own."
Just for comparison, the best human engineering
example is the Gravity Wave Telescope, which was built with
a precision of 23 zeros. The Designer, the 'external
agent' that caused our universe must possess an intellect,
knowledge, creativity and power trillions and trillions
of times greater than we humans have.
Absolutely amazing.
Now a person who doesn't believe in God has to find
some way to explain this. One of the more common explanations
seems to be "There was an infinite number of universes, so it
was inevitable that things would have turned out right
in at least one of them."
The "infinite universes" theory is truly an amazing theory.
Just think about it, if there is an infinite number of
universes, then absolutely everything is not only possible...
It's actually happened!
It means that somewhere, in some dimension, there is
a universe where the Chicago Cubs won the World Series last
year. There's a universe where Jimmy Hoffa doesn't get
cement shoes; instead he marries Joan Rivers and becomes
President of the United States. There's even a
universe where Elvis kicks his drug habit and still
resides at Graceland and sings at concerts. Imagine
the possiblities!
I might sound like I'm joking, but actually I'm dead
serious. TO BELIEVE AN INFINITE NUMBER OF UNIVERSES MADE LIFE POSSIBLE BY RANDOM CHANCE IS TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING ELSE I JUST SAID, TOO.
Some people believe in God with a capital G.
And some folks believe in Chance with a Capital C.
Peace and blessings!

Yes, there is a god. Scientifically I believe in him. What you really need to believe in God is faith.God can't be scientifically proven though.

Possible - Yes
Probable - No
I don't feel science has the knowledge to prove that there is or isn't a God.
When trying to prove almost anything, there are usually doubts.
We had many signs the earth was round. Was there proof before man got far enough away in space to see it. - No!
Is there live somewhere other then on earth?
No proof yes or no.
Science has it's limitations.

Is it scientifically possible for the whole universe to randomly explode out of a tiny bit of matter? Is it scientifically possible for life to spontaneously generate out of nowhere? Is it scientifically possible for humans to somehow have all kinds of unexplainable qualities that no other species have? That's what I thought.

That would depend on how you define God. The God of the Abrahamic faiths is not scientifically possible.

Belief in supernatural beings (god, gods, goddess, goddesses, etc.) is through "faith".
Please note that there are over 10,000 religions on Earth so please don't take offense that I have included variations. There are many religions that have no gods at all and/or have multiple gods.
By definition, "faith" means "belief in something that is not based on proof".
By definition, science is based on "proof". Science also changes as new facts become known, so the proof will be altered as new information becomes known.
By definition, "faith" is based a a series of suppositions not based on "proof", so even if new information becomes available to contradict any assertions, "faith" does not necessarily change.
But back to your question, science cannot "prove" something that has "no proof".

Sure it's scientifically possible.
When Jesus comes down on the Mount of Olives, breaking it apart and causing a great earthquake that will split it in two, and all the armies that attacked Jerusalem have their faces melting off and their eyes melting out of their sockets, you will be able to conduct an experiment.
