Because, as I said, the scientific method can address certain claims made about God. You even agreed to a specific case. No, science is never going to say "God does not exist", but that's mainly because of the wide range of meanings for "God" that exist. Science can say that certain qualities don't work.
I haven't admitted that. You just want me to have done that. What I've admitted is that science can prove and disprove some claims about God. If the claims concerning a certain god concept are proven wrong, it's more logical not to believe in that god concept.
Hypothesis: An omnimax, intervening, loving, creator god exists.
Tests: Looking for evidence in the universe that could only point to that being existing.
Results: Some people claim it's true, but that's the only "evidence" - if you consider it that - to be found.
Conclusion: As far as we're concerned this god does not exist.
Well, I suppose omnimax, intervening, loving and creator are qualities which can be attributed to God. But how would you disprove the existence of a creator God? What about a loving God?
