Does Science disprove the existence of God?

Disproving something supernatural is easy if you can prove that it is a natural thing (e.g. magic tricks). In reference to a supreme being; If God is only in your head...that is a natural process, not supernatural. Religion, in the context of a particular system of faith or worship has given people "rules" for understanding the supernatural as they believe it to be. Burning bushes and resurrections aside, lying to people is also a natural process, but on the other side of the curtain there is the supernatural and the unknowable.
Some Christians and a select few other religious groups have had disagreements with Darwinian Evolution partially because it changes the narrative of what they were taught their whole life (A slight exception with Old-Earth creationists). In many cases it seems that the discussions about this result in not much more than an exchange of insults. Since I am much more of a Historian than a Scientist I really don't have a dog in this fight.
Religion at the end of the day is the Historical approach to understanding the natural world and it provided most of the explanations for the questions people had for thousands of years, and the answers to those questions were almost always attributed to the supernatural.
Even though Religious beliefs are often used in attempts to discredit/disprove Scientific Theories they are really two separate fields of study. Do you believe Science can be used to disprove the existence of a supreme being?

What if what is asking the question is exactly the Supreme Being the scientist is looking for?
Science has created this whole 'external world' concept where 'somewhere else' is where things are, including the truth, including life.
It's a mistake, a huge mistake, and only by the individual returning to God by being That and deconditioning its mind in order to see the wealth of dimensions God's bliss creates for Him, can life actually be lived and accessed.
The whole world is essentially a set up. It's arbitrary, at least.
So no, science has no jurisdiction over your experience of pure consciousness.
That is life, that is the ride.
Everything else is, as McKenna says, a whistling past the graveyard.

I agree, and for me at least... external knowledge is completely different than internal knowledge...that is why I don't bother to debate it anymore.

I don't think science can disprove a supreme being, at least not yet. I think science can illuminate the things man thought gods were responsible for, for example ancient people say a volcano explodes so the gods must be mad, well we can see it has nothing to do with gods through science.

That goes back a little bit to what I was saying:

I am still waiting for the efforts in CERN to progress further... I am afraid that they may find something that they won't like.

I think it is hard to truly disprove anything. Some views of existence say that the physical reality we perceive is on the level of effect, whereas the spiritual dimension that sustains it is on the level of cause. Not that I have any beliefs regarding volcanoes, but understanding the physical processes involved do not necessarily negate a spiritual component - much like understanding the apparent function of something in a dream does not negate the fact that the casual function is illusory from the perspective of it being dependent on the deeper causes of the mind creating the dream. The idea that the physical reality we perceive with our commonly accepted senses is all there is, which would be a necessary axiom to disprove things based on physical observation, is simply an assumption. So I guess in the end, I remain skeptical of people's skepticism

I just wanted to say that I find that science and spiritual go hand in hand, I guess you could say my views are a bit unorthodox.

That's the only way to go. Science is one eye and spirituality the other eye. If you only use one of them, no matter which one, you don't have 3D vision.

First of all science would have to know for what it is looking for. Science needs the exact definition of something before it can try to proof it.
It is impossible for science to prove that there is not 'something more' adding to the results. Means that if you can exclude all other factors in an experiment and have identified all influencing variables, you would like to say that there is nothing more adding up to the results. But who says that you really have excluded all other factors only because your experiment went the same way in 1 Millions of tries ? It still can be 1 more try to have maybe another result. Besides that, the experiment is still VERY specific and limited as all the factors have to best kept constant, so the experiment is repeatable. These are lab conditions which in reality rarely keep the factors constant. Therefore normally science says it's impossible to prove something is generally 'not existing', even if it is well defined. [see "Proving a Negative Generally (Proving Contingent Negative Existentials)"]
The other problem is that, even if science identifies all the factors, there still can be the original motivational factors be hiding behind them. Maybe just being masked by the obvious factors to our perspective. Maybe one original factor influences more than one other secondary factor we use for the experiment, still remains hidden and only becomes obvious in a very specific combination of those 'secondary' factors we are measuring and are missing in the setup of our experiment.
Science can only say: under these and those condition doing this will result in that.
In fact for me, science will help to prove the existence of G*D, if we can find a way to define g*d well enough 
Sorry for my language, I'm not english native, but I still hope you can get the (very condensed) ideas. I try to elaborate more if it's too hard to understand.

the basis of the question itself is misguided "... the existence of God..." people mix up categories constantly
Objects have characteristics: density, color, smell etc. and finally the characteristic of existing
Fantasies, such as purple unicorns, have no existence. They are characterized by nonexistence.
Abstractions, such as numbers, do not have characteristics such as location, density, etc hence the category existent / non existent does not apply to them any more than the category magnetic / non magnetic does.
Space, time, and awareness are all more abstract than objects, yet they are the context in which objects manifest. So abstractions cannot be dismissed like fantasies. Objects are content.
Awareness and attention are even more abstract than space, time and perceptions and thought.
Awareness and attention are context, perceptions and thought are contents.
God is also a term for context, or that which is abstract, hence the category existent / non existent does not apply to this term. That God is a term for context is obvious because all objects are said to manifest within God or God's universe.
Due to vast amounts of unconscious emotional baggage attached to the subject, many humans fail to grasp or even suspect this simple obvious fact.
The ancient Egyptians seem to have been the most literal people as they put actual models of animals they wanted with themselves in the afterlife in their tombs. It seems children are often rather literal. That some of this human tendency carries over into adulthood when matters of belief about death, which frightens many, are involved is perhaps not surprising, given the general irrationality and emotionality of people.

No, science actually proves that God exists but that information is withheld from the public because of the Illuminatis private agenda...
God is defined (as well in the dictionary) as, the supreme reality, it/he is not alive nor dead, he/it is both unconscious and conscious, as well as the root of nothingness which doesn't actually exist ("nothing" is simply an idea). God is nothing further than objective reality but it most certainly is a source that is valuable in the spiritual realm and is the basis of all religions, the true human nature, but In science the only thing that is quantifiable is consciousness and the division between matter and anti-matter, nothing else exists, not even God

Apparently it is being used mostly as a form of information politics.

Whats your definition of God?
Mine is that the Universe IS the God, that everything even a grain of sand, is endowed with consciousness and a degree of sentience and that everything is a universe upon its own.
Some interpretations of quantum physics point in that direction.
So, bearded guy on birkenstocks on a cloud? Probably not? Divine Universe? Possibly.

The supreme being owns science.
Science, together with time and space become a thing of nothing when perception ceases and eternal takes the lead that it has always retained.
