Science is limited to what we can see with our eyes or is physically there to be detected in whatever way. You're claiming that everything that exists necessarily has to fit around the limits of what we can perceive in that manner for no good reason. But why does everything that exists have to fit around our own physical limitations? Here's a 3rd century quote from Origen for instance.
"The study called inspective is that by which go beyond things seen and contemplate something of things divine and heavenly, beholding them with the mind alone, for they are beyond the range of bodily sight."
He would agree that God is beyond the range of what modern science would ever be able to study as God is not something that ever worked that way to begin with. If you were to go back in time and demonstrate everything that modern science has revealed to him it wouldn't have shattered Origens faith in God/Christianity seeing as he already understood the distinction between the non-physical transcendent God and the visible natural world.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
