Gomlbrobo: Science is the method of assessing the evidence and coming to the most accurate conclusion you can. I assume you would label God as "supernatural". As soon as you do that, it is instantly outside the scope of science. Science does not need to claim that the supernatural does not exist, but it admits it cannot investigate it at all. This is not being biased, it's been honest.
I've written more about this in my website:

Do you have a way of defining God so that any sort of test could be made to assess whether or not he exists at all, or whether he is responsible for anything we experience? Until there is such a way, science has no way to assess it.
If you're talking about the "creation model" where God made the world with people on it fully formed a few thousand years ago, then that has been thoroughly debunked by science.
