That would constitute argumentum ad ignorantiam, as it's impossible by definition. Science and belief in a god are not mutually exclusive. This false dichotomy is a trap that people use on both sides of the argument, both atheists and religious zealots, who try to discredit religion or scientific method, respectively.
Science doesn't concern itself with the notion of a god. It can't disprove there is a god, for to attempt to do so would be to succumb to logical fallacy, nor can religious zealots prove that there is a god, thus the argument is really quite pointless.
