Can science ever prove the existence of God....?

Yes All three. Ontology is a subset of metaphysics in regard to the reality of things (all things, not just God). Why does anything exist?

Is the most basic of all ontological questions. (ref Leibniz) In order to derive a reasoned answer one must have some understanding of all three. Scientifically: We know that matter/energy is not eternally useful - this includes quantum energies.

Therefore, we know they had a beginning; such a beginning implies a cause. The cause is therefore transcendent of the effect (matter/energy). Philosophically: We know that from nothing, nothing comes.

We know that things cannot create themselves. We know that transititing an infinite is unreasonable (if not impossible). Because the answers to why anything exists are by both reason and definition outside of physics they must be found in metaphysics.

God is the only entity ever understood that has the proper and necessary attributes to be the basis of reality. If you want to fill this out you can: - investigate the work of professor John Lennox (mathematics, Oxford) https://www.youtube.com/results?search_q...

In answer to your ridiculous question.. they don't. The Ontological argument, for example, is made on a tenuous base as it first postulates that a god must exist merely because it can be conceived. Just another weak circular argument.

As for metaphysics.. these are abstract thoughts and reasoning that have no basis in reality. That which can't be detected nor effectively measured. It can prove nothing.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
