If a god existed, his existence would be a scientific question. It’s just stuff that’s not real that they tell us science can’t apply to.

The early scientists thought they were studying god’s work, but the evidence let them in a different direction. If reality had been different, science would organized around the study of god instead of nature.

I’d rephrase that as “if a god existed that moved and acted in the natural world, his existence would be a scientific question”. However, such an entity would most likely be seen as simply a powerful creature (e.g., Q from Star Trek) as opposed to the inherently supernatural God of many religious traditions.
