Can you prove non-existence of God by means of science? The best what you have is the evolution however; evolution and natural selection are limited to animated objects only.
Science cannot proof the non-existence of something. Based on what one knows of science, logic can rule out the non-existent.

Study Fine Tuning, Intelligent Design, and Cosmological Argument. Especially, focus on Fine Tuning.
Those stupid arguments have been debunked a myriad of times.

Prove by using science that idea of God is illogical. I want to see what argument you have to disprove existence of God.
Again, science cannot prove the non-existence of something, but based on what one knows of science, logic can rule it out.

Infinite regression prohibits the beginning of anything, so there must be no time and everything is. No before, no after, no causality. If everything is, then there was no creation and there is no need for a god.

You seem to be a deluded person.
And yet you have avoided any description.

I had given very logical proofs on the existence of God. Because you do not believe in God, therefore, you are closing your eyes over any given fact and this way you are unable to see the truth. On the other side you believe that science is capable to give you all answers then consider the statement:
I asked for a description, not a 'proof'. One cannot prove the existence of something until there is a description of what is to be proven.

Can Science prove that your spouse loves you? Yes.

Can Science explain the fine-tuning of the physical constants? There is no such thing.

Can Science explain why we require sleep? Yes.

Is not gravity still a greater mystery than evolution? No.

My answers in bold.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
-- The Rev Lovejoy
