Wonderful strides in science are hardly proof of existence. Those wonderful strides were made, possibly, because of the belief in a god, not because of the existence of a god.

God doesn’t get an exception from science just because so many people have a huge investment in his/her/its existence.

As long as believers keep putting forward instances of their god(s) affecting reality, those instances can be examined, predictions made, and tests run on their validity.

So far, every instance has been shown to be false. If god/God can’t interact with our physical world, then what kind of god is he/she/it?

How do you know He doesn’t? The core of modern physical theory has inherent randomness. This is a very important point. How do you know that He doesn’t interact all the time? A wave function collapses here rather than there? Most importantly, if He does act that way, there is no mathematical or observable way you could tell.
