This is ignored in science because "agency" usually isn't important information to us. Science doesn't waste time considering "why" water boils for you after they've established why water boils.

When we find any evidence that something in the universe was created by magic sparkly god fairy dust, then we'll go looking for your god. Until then we won't waste our time.

So does this mean that because science can explain everything about the internal combustion engine, that Henry Ford did not exist or create it?

Do you define your God as something magical that defies the law of physics? If so, then science doesn't say there is no God, but it does mean that science can't say anything about it. Science can only measure what can be observed and falsified. Theists can't provide any material evidence for (a) God, so atheists can't falsify their claims. If a magical God did create the universe or any other life, then scientists will never know that.
