"Hostile to scientific discovery...so prove God does not exist, dummy."

Science was not your strong suit in high school, was it? Do yourself a favor, and look up argumentum ad ignorantiam .

“Hostile to scientific discovery...so prove God does not exist, dummy.”

The theory that God exists adds complexity to the general model of the universe without providing a better explanation of how the universe works. It thus fails by Occam’s razor.

It is thus up to proponents of the existence of God to provide evidence of such. You could, for instance, explain how God came to exist, what God is made of, how God “thinks”, how God interacts with the universe, etc., and provide evidence to back it up.

So far I’ve not even seen a serious attempt to scientifically explain God, let alone a successful one.
