Default Re: Will science ever find the ultimate answer to God?

I believe I can prove that science cannot disprove the existence of God.

Suppose that scientists and/or philosophers believe they have an irrefutable proof for the nonexistence of God. Any test they come up with automatically presupposes that it could not have been altered by an omnipotent God. But an omnipotent God could have, using His omnipotence, altered the results of the tests to show God does not exist, even though He does. No test by humans could be beyond the possibility for it to have been altered by an omnipotent God, therefore we can never prove it either way.

Youve give us no special insight here. It is common knowledge that science cant disprove the existence of God. There is no rational scientist or atheist that would disagree with you.

Sort of difficult to prove or disprove the existence of something so vaguely defined. We'd need a concrete definition of "God" before one can even begin to prove or disprove its existence.

There could be a creator of the universe that isn't remotely like any of the religious 'gods.'...

What if there's a creature out there that is 10000x more intelligent then humans with mental powers we could never understand that may appear to us that has lived for 200K years and appears to be omnipotent. This creature can create galaxies and life. Would this make it fit the definition? Even if it was proven that this creature existed... it still wouldn't mean any of the religions were correct.

Still... the more important part of this is-- even if science finds the answers to how everything works. If it could one day explain just about everything in our universe... people who want to believe in undetectable invisible supercreatures will still believe.
