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.

That's not how proofs work. The hypothesis will be
god exists. Then scientists will demonstrate that
the hypothesis is false.

Yes but scientists cannot do that. The existence of god cannot be disproved. Thats why the statment "I believe I can prove that science cannot disprove the existence of god" has no special insight.

I admit that I overlooked the possibility that the poster was speaking purely in didactic terms to help others who may not know how to articulate that the existence of god cannot be disproved. If that's the case then I missed the boat on this one.

I assumed that the poster was trying to give us some kind of insight.
