Therein lies the usual problem with theists. If it is not understood, it is automatically supernatural and thus God.
Goodness forbid theists actually attempt to understand something without automatically assuming it is too divine to be understood.

I believe science is hardly the place for man to prove the supernatural, considering that science deals with natural law. If, though I do not see it ever happening, science does happen to stumble across proof of a deity's existence through natural law, that would be an entirely different matter.

That is not an explanation so much as it is an excuse. It does not have to be accepted whatsoever.
