      Hi imadinosinetriphosphate

      I don’t think there can be a scientific explanation of God, as science relies on Proof and God relies on Faith, and the 2 are not really compatible.

      I agree. I don’t think the concept of a god can have a scientific explanation for just the reason Mark said.

      There is no scientific explanation of the existence of god but there are realms of Nature that we do not currently understand. It is possible that some higher being, that is different from some of the more popular ideas of God, might exist beyond our boundaries of knowledge. But it is also possible that String theory holds the answer or quantum gravity… only hard scientific evidence can tell.
