He's not alone. Theists worldwide get sold something they find neat, then swallow elaborate apology to attempt to justify a cosmic sky wizard.
Having said that, scientific method can also detect the unseen.

But we also see the effects of what a black hole does to the objects we can see.
Same principle with detecting particles like the Higgs Boson. You cannot see it with the naked eye. But, build a giant collider, smash two atoms together, and just like two cars slamming head on at high speed, you can create things that detect the smaller bits that fly off.
His problem to me seems he is confusing abstract language as being part of the object language describes.
He's trying to mix woo with science and scientific method doesn't support woo by any label.
