(In robot voice) Sorry but you are totally wrong. Science does NOT need to disprove the existence of “God”. Science does not work by disproving things; science tries to prove, demonstrate and replicate phenomena. It is believers who should try to prove the existence of “God”, and so far no one has provided a single evidence of that. As to the “origin” of the Universe, you should read my books “A Brief History of Time” and “The Universe in a Nutshell” to understand my position on that matter better. Basically, the Universe DOES NOT NEED of God to explain it’s origin. By the way, when physicists claim that the universe came to be from “nothing”, it is not the same “nothingness” that we regular people conceive. What people call “void” is actually filled with quantum fields, from which we KNOW quantum particles originate. THAT is how “something” come to be out of “nothing”. Oh!, and Dr. William Lane Craig is nothing but a priest with a Diploma. In philosophy and theology, unsurpisingly.
