It Is IMPOSSIBLE To Prove Or Disprove The Existence Of God, Or Any Other Supernatural Being
Science doesn't apply to the supernatural. That's why it's the supernatural.

The supernatural cannot be tested by science, because science is the study of our natural world.

It is impossible to disprove the existence of God, but you can prove the existence of God using logic- Everything has a creator.

 Is there another way to prove or disprove something. The scientific method is at it's most basic simply a definition of the limits of observation and reason.

In my opinion the scientific method is the only reliable way to prove or disprove something outside of personal context. Simply put science is a process by which we attempt to use evidence and observations from the natural universe to support or disprove hypotheses concerning the mechanisms of the natural universe. The supernatural is not part of this context. The scientific method can neither affirm nor disprove something not bound by physical law.

You can prove God's (or other supernatural being's) miracles, but no, you can't really prove the existence, or the lack thereof, of God. (Which is why it makes for such interesing debates)

To say it is impossible to prove would be saying you know all the ways of the universe and none of them would work. So, i have to disagree. We cant know its impossible unless we know everything.

I would think the scientists in the group would have to disagree also because it is limiting their ability to test all roads.

You may say it's impossible to walk on water, but people do it on a daily basis in the winter, when it's frozen. So is impossible an absolute? According to Lynn there are no absolutes except the fact that there are no absolutes. However, absolute is a word, the word absolute, so there's one. Maybe there are others, who knows, and who knows that?
