In other words, any theory that supports the possibility that God exists must be trashed.

That assumption has advanced science pretty far the past several hundred years, don't you think? Not to say that God does not exist -- he just has more forethought than you or I imagined.

It's not so much a question of "proving God exists". It's a question rather of accepting His existance in order to make sense of these theories.

There is no neutrality on this subject. Either we start with the assumption that God exists, or that God doesn't exist. God is so far transcendent that it is beyond our capabilities to place ourselves above Him and subject Him to one of our experiments. Indeed, it is by the very awareness and rational sentience that he gave us that we're even able to perform experiments at all.

Many of these theories of our origins are anathema to true science in that they go far beyond the bounds of observable, measurable, and repeatable phenomena, paving their own crooked synthetic a priori foundations and building something never suitable for habitation..

The fact that we can do heart transplants or go to space IN NO way proves that God does not exist.
Simply being able to measure acceleration due to gravity
DOES NOT mean God does not exist.
God has placed certain "equations" within our reach due to the very nature of our space-time continuum hence we are merely obtaining results within that domain.

What that simply means is that humans have been able to arrive at conclusions about their environment and that is enabled and allowed by the same God who is not in direct view.
Bear in mind that God, knowing human doubt, will never expose any direct evidence of his existence hence humans will continue living oblivious of God

The basics upon which all modern scientists build their science were discovered several hundred years ago, by scientists who held that God existed and used that faith in him as the starting point. (Newton, Pascal, Mendel(a monk), need I go on?). Other than branchings off from the original discoveries and theorems, there has been no real new open theory or break thru science in nearly one hundred years....we are still building upon foundations laid by ...gasp....religious men. You might argue Darwin...but even he came into consciousness in a society in which Judeo Christian consenses of morality and ethics existed.

That assumption has not advanced science one iota. That type of closed-minded assumption making is anti-science, 'advancing science' like I advance spelling.

I really like the way you think!!!
