Scientific method uses a structured approach for discovery of material evidence to support a physical hypothesis about unknown facets of nature. Most scientists and Christians believe that God is not a material being. Material evidence of God would be rather silly. Spirit and relationships are not matter, and processes or relationships do not fall into material categories for examination. The issues of quantum mechanics that preclude simultaneous determination of velocity and position of quanta have a parallel criterion in that problem of defining compresent macro-physical relationships, and that is once more a parallel paradigm of special relativity concepts of relationships. Frameworks defined from the viewpoint of the observer, in the relationships of social reality comprise use-truths selected from a set of possible descriptions that excludes all others simultaneously. God transcends the matter of the cosmos as well as spiritual relationship criteria, presenting little ossified matter for study.

One day some of the unknown physical aspects of the cosmos may be identified with God, yet that would not presently be recognized. It is enough trouble to contemplate pre-big bang scenarios that produced the inflation of this Universe in the first millisecond of space-time.

Scientists haven't been reprogrammed to 'reject evidence of God'. Some scientists would might unscientifically reject evidence they haven't seen pre-emptively, and others might have such disbelief that evidence brought by God would be rejected automatically, yet a majority of scientists might run scientific tests on theological matters along empirical lines if they were paid to though I believe most would not try. Scientists must ask of themselves one basic question regarding definition of rigorous scientific experimental controls; 'is it bigger or smaller than a breadbox"? God is bigger than a breadbox, and cannot be contained within the Universe He created.

With the basic question answered, the investigation can proceed. God is bigger than the Universe, and the universe is the realm of empirical scientific research, so the prospect of creating a scientific test for the existence God isn't within the competence of science. The too small is difficult also. If one could escape the Universe by slipping through the smallest scale with a mini-camera perhaps at look beyond it; what could be seen? Presently the smallest potentially observable length is the Planck length and there is a realm beyond
