I dont agree that the question of god's existence is about finding answers. It's a metaphysical question about whether the universe was created by some intelligent being (and what characteristics that being has).

If science somehow discovered that there was not only no need for a creator but that the universe "just happened" then I dont think it would be supplanting God. I think it would be eliminating him.

I guess science could play the part of an unintelligent god, if there was some "higher power" which caused the universe or some such. Not if God is taken to be loving, personal, all the other things people usually refer to when they speak of God.
