The purpose of science is not to deny the existence of God, and a scientist is not an atheist by definition. 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.

Does science believe the existence of God?

Science isn't an entity and therefore incapable of believing anything at all. If you meant "Do scientists believe in the existence of God?" then: Some scientists do believe in God[ess](s) and others don't. Though there seems to be a correlation between the two in consideration that the majority of some major scientist associations particularly in Europe (i.e. Britain and Sweden), to a lesser extent the USA (and elsewhere in the world as well) tend to be non-believers or express significant doubts.
