How would you respond to this argument: "Since science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God, then it's possible he exists"?

I believe you CAN prove the existence of God. But…

Believing that Jesus is the son of God, that there is a holy Trinity, or that God offers salvation are all articles of faith which cannot be scientifically proven.

Was all of that necessary?

By the time you scroll through it all you’re too worn out to answer .. since it looks like you’ve already answered your own question.

A SHORT answer to your question is to actually have studied the scriptures and then look to science and archeology to see how they align with one another.

There really are scriptures that tell a story, a time or a science detail .. long before scientists discovered it!

Yes, science has proven the existence of God using books such as Genesis. Listen to Chuck Missler. Learn the Bible in 24 Hours. On YouTube. Be ready for learning things u never knew about our Creator.

Their proof is this: It only looks like design but it is really chaos. I kid you not...................

Also, many insist that Hitler was a Christian. However, while there are such events as collisions in space, and mutations, these are manifest due to them being an aberration in the light of order. The latter of which is also affirmed by unbelievers as Sagan, etc.

You mean the sun rising and setting...and the role it plays for not just the universe, but our bodies.

Please...make it Standard Time forever. The kids are going to the busstops in daylight. The cows want it. The farmers want it.

Science operates in the bounds of infinity. It operates in the bounds of what can be observed, measured, or computed. God operates in eternity. In eternity humans can only speculate but can adjust their guesses by the evidence around them. Only through faith can they decide upon the nature of god. Denying the exitance of eternity is for Neanderthals.

Humans did not create mathematics, that is absurd. Math exists independent of human experience and represents a higher order of things. Rational thought has guided a quest to understand the universe with the idea that after careful study, the designer would reveal the truth.
Kepler did not invent the equations when he discovered that the planets travel in elliptical orbits. Circles did not fit Tycho Brahe’s precise observations so in a moment of inspiration, Kepler tried an ellipse.

But the mathematics is embedded in nature itself, from the motion of galaxies to nano-scale motors in bacteria, genes and complex proteins. Molecules, atoms, electrons, etc. are tiny machines that obey the rules of mathematics.
Euler’s Identity, one of the most elegant mathematical equations ever derived, demonstrates that the value of π and imaginary numbers are woven into the fabric of infinite sums. The implications are breath taking.

I believe Einstein eventually said he believed in God....just in case.

Which requires more blind faith: believing that something created the universe, or that nothing created the universe? Some comedian, I don't know who, made a funny little speech about that once.

It all comes down to faith. And if you have a belief in deity then faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

But science works on faith also. Anyone ever traveled at the speed of light? Since no one can, how do we accept theries like E=MC2? And if the vastness of space ends at a certain point, what goes on from there?

Science, has the faith in their product, religion has theirs. And you won’t know for sure until death. So live people are not part of the equation.

It is a common saying that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Well, considering the plethora of atheists contending against belief in God on the Internet and Quora, substantial substantiation is warranted. By the time you scroll through it all you’re too worn out to answer .. since it looks like you’ve already answered your own question.

It was not my question.

A SHORT answer to your question is to actually have studied the scriptures and then look to science and archeology to see how they align with one another. There really are scriptures that tell a story, a time or a science detail .. long before scientists discovered it!

Yes, and as the question was on the very existence of, a most basic Bible Truth, then I invoked science as being in support of that, by the grace of God.

Science is a system of thought based on specific principles of existence. It is not the author of those principles. Without distinct principles, such as that reason is an effective tool for understanding, science is not possible.

Science has no theory to explain what was, before the “Big Bang.”

Only God can exist, as the absence of anything to explain it, shows their position is wholly incomplete.

Only people speaking of God existing throughout all time, have been consistent and valid.
