People claiming to be scientists also claim to have incontrovertible proof that God does not exist. It is certainly true, that God's existence or non-existence is outside of science to prove or disprove, despite claims to the contrary.
The Bible itself regards the existence of God as self-evident truth and so itself does not try to demonstrate His existence. It does make comment though, on what God thinks of those who do not believe in Him.
Scientists who believe the Bible have God as part of their thinking and work. Great scientists of the past, including a number post-Darwin, including down to our present day, had and have no trouble in belief in God and their scientific work.
If scientists are trying to prove God exists, it is doubtful this will have any success. This is much the same as those who try to prove or disprove miraculous healings. Firstly, there is no promise from God that He is going to make Himself a 'side-show' or be put under the microscope of men to be dissected. If He were to do so He would cease to be God.
If people are trying to either prove or disprove God, it would seem such work is doomed from the outset as it is based on false assumptions.
Eminent Scientists' only concern is with the Natural world. They not concern themselves with the Supernatural.
Answer:
Metaphysics is not the province of science, science deals with the real world . The purpose of science is to break down barriers to knowledge and utilize that knowledge to further mankind's understanding of the Universe.
If science could prove (or disprove) the existence of god(s) the results would be unsatisfactory to all theists concerned. A proof that there was no god(s) would either not be accepted or cause the disappearance of religion. A proof that there was a god(s) would show that the god(s) are subject to the physical rules of the universe and subject to the scientists' tests. In either of these cases the god(s) would not be omnipotent or above everything, which would make them just another real world phenomenon, not supernatural.

∙ 8y agoScientists try to find out more about the natural world. They regard questions about the existence or otherwise of God as outside their field. Others may interpret scientific knowledge as helping to define whether God exists, but that is not the intention. Having said that, a small minority of scientists and some pseudo-scientists do try to prove that God does exist.

Does religious experience prove that God exists?
A:No. A Christian could have what he or she regards as a religious experience and a Hindu could have a very similar religious experience. In both cases, this proves no more than that they are devout followers of their relative faiths. The Christian's experience does not prove that God exists, any more than the Hindu's religious experience proves that Brahma or Vishnu exists.
