Why Science Won't "Discover" God
Many believe that science will ultimately "prove" God, discovering the Creator through experiments or equations. Science, however, seeks to explain the how, not the who. While it may clarify the mechanisms of the universe, it cannot address purpose, meaning, or ultimate cause. Building on this distinction, it is important to recognize that God is timeless, beyond, and has been made available to man for thousands of years. Man has met the divine through scripture, contemplation, and acts of kindness throughout history and across cultures. Prominent scientists, such as Mendel and Galileo, took their experiments as being self-revealing of God's creation, not a replacement of faith. Therefore, faith and reason are not mutually exclusive. Studying God doesn't mean abandoning logic—there is the possibility of exploring the boundaries of science and the ultimate questions of life. God is not a phenomenon to be detected by science. God is a reality already existing, woven into human history and experience.
