Evolution is a fact and it destroys creation myths.
Soon our understanding of the universe and beyond will allow us to definitively discount even deism as a valid concept.
In other words, there will be no place for god to hide when we prove it simply cannot exist. Impossible beings cannot exist.
Goodbye religion, it's been......well, it's sucked mostly, but hopefully you can just fuck off.
You say "impossible beings cannot exist" and "there will be no place for god to hide when we prove it simply cannot exist."
While I trust that we will prove the existence of god(s) highly improbable and unnecessary for the physics of the universe, I think it's impossible to prove a god that wants to hide can't simply hide. It's rather like a child's game, where the child who says there's a god simply says "he doesn't WANT to be seen. That's the mystery of faith. He wants faith, not people who know he exists." (and so on.)
To put it another way, just because you've removed all the trees in the forest and filled all the holes you've seen with portland cement, doesn't mean there aren't still bunnies in that area...hiding.
For a more real example, consider the Japanese hiding on Saipan. American soldiers near the end of WWII linked arms and walked from one end of Saipan to the other (though what they did when they came to cliffs, I can't guess). Still, they didn't find 17 Japanese soldiers in hiding.
Gods, bunnies, soldiers... take your pick. It's not possible to definitively prove a negative. The most we can do is make the likelihood of a god, a bunny, or a Japanese soldier in hiding seem very, very silly.
