An argument of ignorance requires one to conclude something is true on the basis that it hasn't been proven false. Neither you or I make that fallacy.
I agree that you have never claimed your God hypothesis is true simply because I can't disprove it; however, making the assertion with absolutely no evidence that God is complicit in entangled particle state value causality is essentially the same thing. Absent evidence I can replace 'God' in your statements above with The Man from Atlantis, Sasquatch, or the Easter Bunny and the argument remains the same. You give us absolutely no reason to accept your claim other than we can't prove it to be false. This is why some of us have been so adamant in labeling your claim 'an appeal to ignorance'.
