Antithesis is right. T@T's claim that "science and common prove that God is imaginary" is indeed factually incorrect, and I say that as a staunch atheist. Science cannot disprove the existence of supernatural beings because they are inherently not
falsifiable. Note that it doesn't necessarily follow that if something is unfalsifiable that it is therefore true, though, a mistake many creationists make. Just because science cannot disprove the existence of a supernatural god or gods doesn't mean that any exist for the exact same reasons that science cannot disprove the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or the Invisible Pink Unicorn or Russell's teapot.
In the absence of compelling evidence, I firmly believe the default position should be one of of skepticism and non-belief (hence why I'm an atheist), and that the burden of proof belongs to believers who make the claim that god(s) exists, not to those who doubt them. But Antithesis is still correct: science has not disproved god, nor
can it.
