Far from being a pet and kettle statement, if you honestly think that science actively attempts to disprove "God," you misunderstand science and its mechanisms. Science is a rational method. A scientist is one who makes positive assertions and bears the burden of proof.
A key concept in science is the Scientific Method: "The principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstrate the truth or falseness of the hypothesis, and a conclusion that validates or modifies the hypothesis."
It falls upon the one making assertions to support their assertions using this method. It does NOT fall upon others to prove the negative.
In other words, it does not fall upon others to prove your assertion wrong.
The idea is assumed to be unsupported, until it is supported.
The concept is very simple really. Science does not violently pursue Christianity as you seem to suggest. Rather, if you wish to debate the scientific credibility of Christianity, you are required to play by the rules of science, hence my original post.
As for why I am here this is a scientific forum.
