If this is the position you want to hold then god doesn't significantly impact much, right? If it cannot be detected. Yea it's possible (not probable, but almost everything is possible).
First, I still open to the possibility that in the future, with more advance technology and knowledge, we can actually detect the evidence (if it exists).
Second, if we cannot detect the evidence with our current technology, then it doesn't mean that the affect is not significant. Compare to technology million years ahead of us, our current technology is very primitive.
In ancient China, they tested out herbs one by one to see which one could cure diseases. They had no medical technology that can even compare to what we had 100 years ago. But they could detect which one helped and which ones did not. Of course now all the herbs are being researched to isolate what is actually helping and detect how it does so.
Lack of technology still detects big changes. It's the small ones they have trouble with. If god caused a small change it should lead to a bigger change, or are you saying that it'll stop at the small change? If you're saying that the bigger change is indistinguishable from other things that are not affected by god, then well, you're free to stick to that but that really is just semantics that has no practical impact.
