Has Science done away with a need for God?

[Esquilax]

Honest questions here guys, curious to know your opinions.  

1.  Do you believe that modern science has completely done away with a need for God as an explanation for the universe?  

The problem is that this question is malformed at every conceivable scale. As others have pointed out, there was never any need for god in the first place, as there's never a requirement to have a false answer to a question. Moreover, calling god an "explanation" for anything, let alone a big topic like reality itself, is a complete misnomer, as explanations generally need to, you know, explain a thing. God explains exactly no things: it provides no mechanism, does not expand our knowledge, and merely appeals to a larger mystery in order to explain the first one. When a theist posits god as an answer to a question, we are never told how that works, how it happened, just that it did happen, so there. Our knowledge of the issue we asked about is not enhanced, the thing we asked has not been answered, because the question is "how did the universe come about?" and answering "god created it," is a "what?" answer to a "how?" question. How did god create the universe? The christians are remarkably silent when actually asked to give a verifiable mechanism.

Besides, you can't appeal to a larger, more unknown and unverifiable concept and then call that a viable explanation. I shouldn't have to point that out.

2.  Does one need to choose between God and Science?

No, mostly because god is not actually a cogent option. When one of the proposed options cannot be demonstrated to exist, there is no choice at all.
