Explanation:
The existence - or lack of - a God is one of humanity's fundamental questions. Since the first birth, the first sunrise, the first death, humans have sought to explain the world around them. The whole of human existence, in the end, comes down to this: Is there a God?

Science and Creation
Science deals only with the creation. It cannot deal with the creator because the creator exists outside the box of creation that science is trapped within.
The best science can do is say once there was a "big bang", something happened and a bunch of energy exploded into what we know as reality and cooled and formed the universe and created laws of physics that we have discovered.
Science cannot tell us what went bang nor why it went bang.

The box
It is how you look at it. Science can deal with creator in psyholigical sense. Why we (humans) created creator (deities) in the first place. Also any school of philosophy takes chances on idea of creator as such.
However science may tell you some day in the future why there was big bang and what caused it. Like science told us that lighting is not an act of God and Earth is not the center of Universe. Scary thing to do is to do nothing in fields of science and teach our childrens scary stories about
gnomes and so on.
Even if we are in some kind of box and Creator is out of it - then he also can't interact with us.
But anything what gets into the box can be in some way or another observed by us and by our scientists as well. It's simple.
