Explain how, please? Because way I see it: regardless of our technological prowess, God is metaphysical.

Because technological prowess is the result of a thought process that has demonstrated itself to be both uniquely valid, predictive, and incompatible with such thought techniques as might arrive at some particular god, metaphysical or not; where as metaphysical god is the predictive result of of thought technique that have been demonstrateds to be overwhelmingly lacking in predictive power whereever its predictive power has been tested. It takes a sickening case of special pleding to argue that even so, the bullshit technique remains valid in this one case where the weakminded happen to wish there to be a god.
Prior to the achievement of technological prowess, it was possible to argue with less obvious disingenuousness than would be needed today that such thought processes as might arrive at metaphysical god was, while not demonstratably valid, was also not demonstrably more invalid than anything else. Hence in the absence of, or obliviousness to, track record for different thinking techniques, it might appear that wish think was as good as any for truth finding, while affording the additional benefit of increasing the chance that such "truth" as might be "found" would also "happen" to comply more to one's own wishes.

So metaphysical god was only justified on the basis of "when everything is bullshit, this is as good a piece of bullshit as anything else". But with the advent of technology, is has been shown that not everything is bullshit, and those which have been shown to be not bullshit does not include metaphysical god, and all those which have been shown to be non-bullshit are also arrived at with techniques, thus validated, that are also incompatible with such god as might have been arrive with other techniques.
