I don't think that science will ever "disprove" theism, since proof- in any sort of absolute sense- isn't something science is really capable of. More generally, i don't think science can be the catalyst for any sort of obsolescence when it comes to theism- the two can essentially occupy mutually exclusive areas. The pursuit of scientific knowledge and the pursuit of spiritual knowledge don't necessarily take someone to the same places, and it could be argued that they can't.
Also, i don't think that it's is necessarily accurate to claim that theists are only theists because they simply haven't thought about it. On its face it betrays a lack of knowledge of how theist beliefs are created.
Science is a useful tool, but that is all it is. It says nothing absolutely definitively about anything.
