God or Science

I recently read an article about the advancements of science and how many feel that it won't be long before science is able to completely disprove the existence of God.  In the article, written by Natalie Wolchover in LiveScience.com, she quotes theoretical cosmologist, Sean Carroll from his writings stating, "Most scientists...suspect that the search for ultimate explanations eventually terminates in some final theory of the world, along with the phrase 'and that's just how it is,'" Carroll wrote.  People who find this unsatisfying are failing to treat the entire universe as something unique - "something for which a different set of standards is appropriate." 
That's an interesting way of saying that science is proven by repetition - but what falls out of the realm of repetition can simply be described as being under a "different set of standards."  Could that be the work of God?  I think so, but obviously Carroll thinks not.  He is under the assumption that science, time and the existence of all things began without an external force originating it but isn't willing to assume that there is a God that could have started it.
Well, as with all news, science and scientists, in spite of their best efforts, Solomon summed it up best: "There is nothing new under the sun" - or the case of theoretical cosmologists, nothing new in all of creation.  God is always at the other end of the telescope or microscope, speaking through His creation saying, "I'm right here."  I hope you have found Him.
Have a blessed day!
