For some reason when this article posted, it removed the many instances of ellipses (...) which I placed to indicate an excerpt. Anyway, here is a link of mine, by the grace of God, with more sources relative to the these of Intelligent Design.:

How would you respond to this argument: "Since science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God, then it's possible he exists"?

artly, by responding that scientific discovery and knowledge does not warrant the premise that the universe and everything therein can (at least someday) all be attributed to purely natural processes.

Meaning that the atheist/antitheist position that there is no Creator/God, is one lacking in evidential warrant and requires great faith. For atheists can only presume that an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered, intricate universe, exquisitely finely tuned for corporeal earthly life with its extensive diversity and astounding complexity*, came to be by known (or potentially known), purely natural demonstrable powers, as if it was Divine, without any supreme supernatural intelligence behind it.

And which is not akin to requiring faith that there is no Santa Clause, etc., since such can be easily disproven.

While man- using His God-given intelligence - has discovered causes and means of many things (like lighting) that were once attributed by some to purely supernatural causes, yet a creator cannot be restricted from using nature for his purposes, while there are increasingly discoveries supporting the premise that energy and matter, and the organization and programming of the latter require supernatural powers and intelligence natural things. Therefore, rather than a trajectory of scientific discovery leading to a purely natural explanation of the universe, instead, the more that is discovered then the more perplexing competing hypotheses become

and the more absurd the atheistic denial of a creator becomes.

For the Christian the evidence comports to the omniscient omnipotent God of the Bible as being the Ultimate First Cause, organizer and programmer.
