Will science ever find the ultimate answer to God?
I'm not saying that we desperately need an answer.
What I mean is the apparent difficulty or rather impossibility for cosmologists to a) get infinitely close to the Big Bang b) look beyond the observable universe. Do you think these are unshiftable boundaries of what man can find out about the origin of all? And if yes, what are the consequences?

[/ QUOTE ] No. I think Science can prove that God is not necessary. But many of the definitions (and let's straight... no one is even sure how to define God. Many definite it differently) are outside of science by definition. Can science ever prove that undetectable unicorns don't exist?

Tipler tried to prove that G-d existed using physics. It was an interesting read but I have a feeling most religious individuals would not accept the Omega Point as G-d.

[/ QUOTE ] We should be really quite convinced it has already found it; in the study of human psychology and the history of mythology. The questions then become: 1) Will humans as a group ever be intelligent enough, and sufficiently well informed, to concur? 2)Will we ever discover the actual process of creation of the known universe?
