God is usually carefully defined in order to be science proof, so... if it exists, it's science proof. It can't be investigated.
Not only carefully defined as beyond investigation, but also continually redefined to keep it that way; the bible has it that the sky is a dome placed over a flat Earth, with god existing beyond it. When we found out that wasn't true, and that in fact god did not exist out in space, suddenly heaven is another dimension, ill-defined but inaccessible. Theistic claims flee from facts as soon as we find them, while simultaneously taking credit for those facts in retrospect.
