I'm starting to feel like a one-trick pony on this forum,
and I'm sorry if its tedious...
....but again, I feel the difference between RELIGION and GOD needs to be pointed out.

Science had long been giving information discrediting many points of RELIGION, though, if not disproving the existence of GOD, himself.
For example, over the centuries, Religion has been proven wrong on many counts,
such as the Sun revolving around the Earth;
or Anatomists being burned for witches for describing the circulation of blood through the body, because it went against the religious thinking of the time;
Science has steadily been chipping away at RELIGION.
What I, as an Agnostic, am continually pointing out the Theists is that if there actually IS a God out there to be conclusively found and PROVEN to exist, it will be through Science that we find Him....NOT through Religion.
Religion really has nothing to do with God.
Religion professes to be about serving God, but in reality, Religion does not serve God.
Religion serves Religion.
It is not really GOD that I have a problem with...if there IS a God out there,
I won't hold Him responsible for the stupidity of Religion.
What Theists need to really grasp is the idea that it is entirely possible that there IS a God out there,
and that He may turn out to be NOTHING like what your religion says He is.
Personally, I feel it is most likely that there either is no God at all,
or if there IS a God, he is very likely a completely amoral being who is not at all concerned with the choices of our everyday lives or what we believe or don't believe about Him
...I feel it is most likely He is more like a Scientist, than anything else.
And as a Scientific being, then, if anything, He may even HATE your religion
....for teaching people to state unproven theories as if they are facts,
and then coercing other people not to question those unproven theories.
Because, again:
IF there actually IS a God out there to be conclusively found and PROVEN to exist,
it will be through Science that we find Him....NOT through Religion.
So no, science has not yet disproven the existence of god;
Who knows, Science may even be the way we PROVE the existence of GOD.
But what Information and Science HAS done already and continues to do, is discredit RELIGION.
