It can come in handy when you can say to people that science has disproved the bible and why.

I'm not sure what definition of "God" John Loftus is using in his arguments. It certainly is not the one I find in Merriam-Webster's online dictionary:
Definition of GOD
1 capitalized : the supreme or ultimate reality:.....
If one does not respect the meanings of the words of the language it becomes very difficult - if not impossible - to communicate any meaning whatsoever with it. Presumably, Mr. Loftus is not trying to say that there is no such thing as Ultimate Reality - or is he? Ultimate Reality is what the entire enterprise of science is about seeking, is it not? So how can it be possible that science will ever be in opposition to this Ultimate Reality - God?
One can argue intelligently about the Nature of Ultimate Reality. But to claim that it does not exist at all is simply absurd. And whilst that is a view one might take on existence, absurdism has nothing whatsoever to do with science.
Did you read the article I posted may I ask?
The article talked nothing about disproving the existence of a god or ultimate reality of some sort. The article was actually about disproving the claims made by Christians which believes in the existence a particular god named Yahweh.
