I'd say that science is only a tool to expand our knowledge of what we can know. I think saying science can't prove everything shows great ignorance of what science is. Science isn't based on just knowing everything either, it's based on challenging beliefs that are already held and self examining your own beliefs, and being willing to give up what you believe when new evidence is presented.
I don't know if I would really like to use the word belief in this situation, because I feel that it would confuse the christian. Because they think of a belief as something that you hold without evidence, but the way I mean belief is in the way I would say I believe that I have fingers being used to type on a keyboard. Idk. I try relentlessly to come up with these sorts of counter arguments. I'll never really know if I've ever turned someone into an atheist, unfortunately there's no score tracker to keep count of all my accomplishments built into the universe. But I wish there was.
