Does science make belief in God obsolete?

Yes

If God is meant in the Christian/Judaic/Islamic/Bhramanic sense, science eliminates the need to invoke an omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent being to understand the world around us.

and possibly, No.

Science answers questions that resolve the unknowns in the natural world. This body of knowledge grows to expose further areas of inquiry, leading to a potentially infinite amount of undiscovered information. Belief in God feeds on this unknown information and thus in my view will always find its followers.

“Lord, come down in a mighty way and strengthen us so that we can bring down these high gas prices,” Twyman said to a chorus of “amens”.

“Prayer is the answer to every problem in life. We call on God to intervene in the lives of the selfish, greedy people who are keeping these prices high,” Twyman said on the forecourt of the petrol station in a neighbourhood of Washington that, like many of its residents, has seen better days.
