Does Science prove God exists or does Science ask questions to its existence?
Science is the study of the natural world by human beings who have a brain that allows logical thought, reasoning and imagination. The various disciplines within science have discovered many things about our universe that allows deeper understanding. The church and science has long been separated; the ancient church looking for blind adherance to scripture by the uneducated masses of hundreds of years ago; science being born from both inconsistancy and corruption of the then papal leadership (hence Luther nailing his protests on the church door).
