"So science as defined by scientists today precludes any chance of evidence for a creator."

How would you define science instead?

Actually, I looked up the definition in Wikipedia (the reference source of choice on these threads) and didn't have a problem with it. This statement: ...which explains observable events in nature by natural causes without assuming the existence or non-existence of the supernatural.

however, doesn't seem to be well adhered to. It appears that in practice it is assumed that anything natural is strictly separated from the supernatural and vice versa. So that the natural world is considered to be "godless"; meaning *without God* as opposed to the usual definition of *evil*. So that, anything that is measured or observed is automatically assumed to not have God as it's origin; thus making it impossible to *prove* God.
