Science is a discipline that is perfectly capable if proving that things exist, where those things interact with reality. You've claimed your god interacts with reality, therefore he is a cause, creating effects within the material world that are, themselves, testable and falsifiable.
More importantly, I'm going to need a hell of a lot more than a bare assertion that science can't test god. You've given one reason why, that is flatly false, and you've yet to give an example of a discipline that can prove that god exists; your priorities seem to be more focused on ensuring any field of study that doesn't detect your god is somehow ineligible from doing so anyway. All you're doing is playing keepaway with your god whenever there's a real concern that he just won't show up.
I suspect that if the scientific community were filled with religious apologists attempting to spin every finding toward the god conclusion, this conviction you have that science is unable to test god, would not ever come up in conversation.
