Actually, matter is an emergent property of consciousness. As in matter has no form until it is observed or brought in contact with other matter. Let's face it, the universe is just f'ing weird, and we're scratching at the surface trying to convince ourselves that we know what it's all about, when we really know jack $#1t. That's why we reinvent our history and world view every few decades. There is no proof either way, but we're too arrogant and insecure to admit what we don't know. The phenomenon attributed to God can also be explained through quantum entanglement, transportation and "spooky action at a distance".

People thought that science would absolutely refute atheism, but once you have domesticated God and reduced God to a mere fact, atheism is only a matter of time. Religious language must always point beyond itself into the silence of transcendence. If it becomes an end in itself, religion becomes idolatry.
