Answer 1

NO! GOD IS ALL IS GOD.

Answer 2

(IMO)
Most likely not. You can't prove an absolute negative, and without Him coming down and throwing some holy weight around proving the positive in the theistic sense is also impossible. God is the ideal target for Occams Razor. The only way to disprove God is to find un unquestionable inherant logical fallacy within the concept itself. People have been trying this for years, throwing omniscience against free will or suffering, omnipotence against benevolence, all sorts. Thus far these arguments have all failed, as the concept of God is very easy to manipulate within a logical framework.
The only physical things we can use to disprove God are those which directly contradict the religious book in question (whichever one there is.....deist Gods are exempt. They can easily be logiced and defined into existance...). For example, Geology and Biology would seem to contradict creationism. They claim that the Earth is 4.6 billion years old, not 6000, and that evolution occured/s instead of a spontaneous creation of all separate species. However, the Bible (assuming Christianity for arguments sake..) itself can be re-interpreted as a metaphor or allegory for a phenomenon that human minds couldn't understand at the time. Theists then don't have to counter scientific disproofs, claiming instead that the Bible hints at greater truths through Gods word and careful re-interpretation.
Essentially, science will never be able to disprove God to the satisfaction of the Theists. The only real way to make progress with the subject is to look at the way the various properties of an asserted God would interact, and whether they can logically co-exist.

Answer 3

Nope! That's not what science is made for.

Science is nothing but a systematic abstraction of natural phenomena into "models" that can be more easily understood or handled. We make models of nature, based on our limited observations, and just hope that they are fully compatible with the nature.

For example, we observe that if you let go of an apple, it falls down, and we abstract it to a model (theory) that "all objects are attracted by the gravity of the earth". We might even go further and refine our model into a mathematical formula. However, then, we can just hope that whenever in future we let go of an apple, it falls down in a similar manner as our model explains.

Science is not about proving or disproving things about reality. It's about modeling and explaining reality.

Answer 4

"in spite of if"? the possibility of the life of a private God often happening to guy, like Zeus or the Christian God, is downright 0. technology could come across a god, of any form, or a definite style of skill which could qualify as a Godly skill by potential of assertion of pronounced skill. technology can in basic terms conclusively teach life of a Godly determine by potential of looking at it, the two straight away or trough assertion, inspite of the undeniable fact that it can't disprove it, because of the fact an argumentum ex silencio is often shaky. (Logically God could be someplace on the tip, whilst each and every thing else has been stripped away, if technology have been ever to realize that element, assuming for a 2d that there is something like a generic course or direction in technology and the universe, it would recommend that each and every thing has been chanced on (yet not inevitably defined))

Answer 5

How can science "prove" a myth..?? Besides.. some people still think the earth is flat.. and many can't locate the Pacific Ocean or even find the United States on a globe.. ; - )

Answer 6

theres alot of things that science proves about life and if you use the bible stories and stuff and compare it to real life it makes like no sense really and is dumb like noahs ark and all others plus we have never even seen god in thousands of years but peeps got faith as for me i dont really know i more dont believe it though unless something can prove that god exists not just stories or talking.

Answer 7

after a while it won't need to disprove god because people will not care anymore..science will progress...god is stagnant..he is already all powerful, but never does anything... right? so just expect more of the same from him, K?

Answer 8

How can it disprove god? its like disproving the tooth fairy. You can't disprove the tooth fairy but the lack of evidence makes you lean towards thinking she doesn't exist.
You can't prove a negative.

Answer 9

Of course not! Science is the product of God, not the proof of God. Especially not in the eyes of the world. We live in a world of reason and logic and God exists in the realm of faith. Since reason will never understand faith, science will never prove the existence of God.

Answer 10

I don't believe so...God and religion are subjects of faith, not science...you either believe or you don't. That being said, I don't believe that it is wise to abandon logic for faith...I look for answers that satisfy both.

Answer 11

No. Science depends upon empirical evidence.
God is a belief - as different as there are people.
