No, imo, He'd say the same thing as Anthony Flew, Alister McGrath and many many more Christian/Deists Scientists in that Science can not disprove the existence of God and should not be used as a platform to try.

But science is not used as such a platform. For one thing science does not deal in pure speculation without verifiable corroboration. Thatâs what religionâs for.
Though theists and religious believers here in this thread would use science as a platform for religion if they could.
Using quite ridiculous nonsensical argument, trying to drag religion toward science by suggesting that in the end, science is only belief , or science can't be validated higher than people therefore absurdly inferring it's on a par with science.
You have however showed how the point stands. Science and religion will remain separate, incompatible. Not on the same platform.
They reach entirely different conclusions by completely different means. Science essentially is rational. Religion not.
You can't start to determine scientifically the non existence of something like God when that something is not testable or even defined properly.
That's where religion, make believe, pretence, runaway imagination, is useful for creating such concepts.
But they can't be tested, and as it is for fairies and all other sorts of supernatural things, God definitions change at every turn.
It's just not science.
