“Why Science Does Not Disprove God”

God is above proof. Science makes no attempt to prove/disprove God.

“science” can’t exist without the Biblical God.

There’s no point to it if you can’t depend on the consistency promised therein.

Science doesn't even touch upon consciousness.

Science therefore can't explain us, much less God.

“Science” is a word. But when you see what people do under the umbrella of that word, it’s pretty easy to see why that activity can’t disprove God.

I’d like to see them prove human consciousness exists. If they didn’t have it themself, they would never believe it exists.

i.e. Sometimes experience is all the proof you need.

True science is a friend of the Bible.

True science mocks much of what is commonly held and taught in popular culture.

God’s pretty smart. Why wouldn’t he use science to create and change things?

Science thinks they must reproduce God before they believe.

Why is our Universe so precisely tailor-made for the emergence of life?

Seems like the wrong question to me.

That's like asking why our eyes are spaced 65 mm apart and that happens to fit our eyeglasses.

No scientist,or group of scientists,can give irrefutable proof of God's existence,one way or the other.However,I think scientists,astronomers for one,routinely provide information *strongly suggesting* that God exists.Anyone looking at those photos from the Hubbell Telescope would,at the very least,get the sense that “all this didn't just happen by accident”.

Pretending that there is a conflict between science & religion is one of the silliest fallacies that the Left has promoted. Both science & religion have as a primary purpose, the pursuit of truth. As the pioneer American anthropologist, wrote over 160 years ago,

Man can invent nothing in science or religion but falsehood; and all the truths which he discovers are but facts or laws which have emanated from the Creator.

What we call inventions are merely the utilization of aspects of natural reality; the putting together of things that are, in useful ways; often involving new discoveries of what is, and its potential uses. While the theological pursuit is to understand the ultimate source of all things; and maybe. within the limited capacity of human intelligence, to better understand the whys of new discoveries..

Forget God for the moment and just confront humanists/materialists with the supernatural, the immaterial. Mind, emotions, beauty, rights, morality. If they cannot explain those by science, how do they think that they can easily dismiss God?

2 big reasons:
1 - they aren’t trying, they’re busy figuring out how the world works and not terribly concerned with whose religious beliefs are challenged by their findings
2 - you can’t prove a negative, which they know, which is why 1

since Aquinas has already proven that science, a form of reason based on causality, cannot exist without God as first cause, it follows that darwinin or macro evolution is not science.

by extension, the existence of reason and causality damns all leftist ideology as non-science.

Science and God are 100% compatible.

Science is How - God is Why.

Countering from another Great Mind....

When the solution is simple, God is answering.

There are two ways to live:
you can live as if nothing is a miracle;
you can live as if everything is a miracle.

That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

We should take care not to make the intellect our god;
it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

Science without religion is lame,
religion without science is blind.

The most incomprehensible thing about the world
is that it is comprehensible.

and...

The man of science is a poor philosopher.

Albert Einstein

That`s why they call them theories not theorems

Science gives us the language to explain that which is knowable about our existence and the existence of the universe. Religion provides the language to explain that which we have been told to take on the basis of faith, and will always be unknowable and of wonder, but still of inestimable worth to us.
