Does science truly negate the hand of God in the origins of our Universe? (Part 2)

It is my belief that science in and of itself may never prove or disprove the very existance of God.
If anything evident could prove the existance of God than arriving at this very conclusion would only be reserved for the elite or extreme intellectuals.  Subsequently, only those individuals able of making distinctive observations and capable of decifering specific conclusions would be able to deduce that what was observed might be the product of an intelligent design. 

Having said that, this does not mean that one who has come to the knowledge of God should categorically dismiss what science has discovered.  As a matter of fact, when discoveries are made, hypothesis tested, theories developed or scientific laws discovered we may eventually arrive at some conclusions that may in many cases even confirm what the bible may have been stating all along.  As new discoveries are made and new research tools invented, sometimes certain theories or beliefs are even replaced by newer and more accurate ones.

Here is what some of these terms mean to a scientist:


Scientific Law: This is a statement of fact meant to describe, in concise terms, an action or set of actions. It is generally accepted to be true and universal, and can sometimes be expressed in terms of a single mathematical equation. Scientific laws are similar to mathematical postulates. They don’t really need any complex external proofs; they are accepted at face value based upon the fact that they have always been observed to be true.
Specifically, scientific laws must be simple, true, universal, and absolute. They represent the cornerstone of scientific discovery, because if a law ever did not apply, then all science based upon that law would collapse.
Some scientific laws, or laws of nature, include the law of gravity, Newton's laws of motion, the laws of thermodynamics, Boyle's law of gases, the law of conservation of mass and energy, and Hook’s law of elasticity.

Hypothesis: This is an educated guess based upon observation. It is a rational explanation of a single event or phenomenon based upon what is observed, but which has not been proved. Most hypotheses can be supported or refuted by experimentation or continued observation.

Theory: A theory is more like a scientific law than a hypothesis. A theory is an explanation of a set of related observations or events based upon proven hypotheses and verified multiple times by detached groups of researchers. One scientist cannot create a theory; he can only create a hypothesis.

In general, both a scientific theory and a scientific law are accepted to be true by the scientific community as a whole. Both are used to make predictions of events. Both are used to advance technology. (http://wilstar.com/theories.htm)


So....in contrast, what does the bible say about faith?

Hebrews 11:1 -
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not yet seen.
Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God, must believe that he is (exists), and that he is a rewarder to them that diligently seek him.
