“The assumption that science has somehow “refuted God’s existence” is very common. Because teacher’s unions, all public schools, most universities, and much of the media promote a secularized worldview, masses of Americans today assume there is no need to include God in the explanation of life’s origin, operation, or purpose. (Science That Excludes God is a Faith System of its Own, Dr. Alex McFarland, American Family Association, 6/1/22)
The Triune God Creator and sustainer of the universe and of all life and conscious life is not within the cosmos (1st and 2nd heavens) but outside of the cosmos. God the Father and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ the Word of God reside in the third heaven, a dimension unreachable therefore unknowable to mankind except by revelation from God Himself. In this light when men claim that ‘science’ has disproven the existence of the Triune God it is stupid hubris on their part.
“Human history is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.”
― C.S. Lewis
God the Father created man and made him a living soul (his inner person) and endowed him with spirit–a conscious, rational mind. Our Heavenly Father has also given man free will that allows him to freely choose between truth and lie, good and evil. But without God the Father we find stupid hubristic men abusing their free will by choosing stupidity and evil by reducing life to chemicals somehow pregnant with life or to something seeded on earth by space brothers. Likewise we find them stupidly choosing to either explain away their living souls or trying to merge them with the Void. Similarly, we find them endowing apes, rivers, and other parts of nature with the personhood they have ‘lost’ by choosing to explain away their souls.
So what have these foolish men reduced mankind to through ‘science’ (scientism)? Mindless, robotic machines, hominids, holons, and aggregates of molecules.
In conclusion, Godless men have not disproven the existence of God the Father. However, what they have proven is the existence of their minds, free will, and souls by virtue of the obvious abuse of mind to invent evil theories and ideologies and free will to choose and empower evil theories and ideologies, thereby making stupid, depraved, evil choices. Similarly, by way of their choices to deprive men of ultimate good, meaning God the father, minds, souls (personality) and the possibility of immortality, Godless men demonstrate the reality of evil and the reason for Hell.
Ultimately, the evil choices outlined above have led to the downfall and disintegration of Western Christian civilization.
Now the Godless must eat the bitter fruit of their stupid, evil choices, and everyone else, meaning all who have not chosen to follow after them but choose to hold fast to what they know to be good, must suffer the consequences of the stupid, evil choices of the Godless..

One could write a lengthy treatise on what science can and cannot do.
What science does, from Psych 101, is to: observe, measure, predict, and control the forces at work in the universe. They are physical forces only and they’re marvelously, and intelligently, synchronized to causally interact with other forces in accord with natural laws. Science always seeks to discover those laws and then to formulate them mathematically, such that they’re predicable, like Einstein’s E= MC squared.
None of these natural forces have any creative ability themselves, rather their movements demonstrate a higher creative intelligence which made them that way.
Only pseudo-scientists would suggest that any intelligence, such as “gods of forces”, could arise from nature itself. Science can’t do that.
Moreover, the same intelligent Creator of the universe who also created humanity gave us laws to govern us. These laws are contained in the Bible. What’s different with us is that we’re intelligent too and we can observe or disregard them.
Those who honor His laws will be rewarded and those who don’t will be punished.
