It all comes down to filling in the unknowns. Science doesnt fully explain the origin of life yet (insert God). Science doesnt fully explain the origin of the universe yet (insert God). Inserting God in these unknowns is fine, I cant disprove it. However it does leave you with a vague notion of a prime mover, that 4 billion years ago did something, roughly 9 billion years after he made the universe. Whats worse is that this vague notion of a God is vaguer with all the new discoveries. Once god made the universe as is, now its expanding. Once God made all the animals, plants, bacteria, now we know those evolved from simpler beginnings. etc.
So either you have a god that resides in the unknows or one that has a book with miracles and scientific impossibilities. The 2nd kind of God is the god of ignorance, the one that makes people say: 'Where is the transitional fossil between chimp and man?' The kind of people that would say after you showed them Homo Erectus: 'Well now there are 2 gaps in the fossil record and you cant prove this is an old fossil'. The God in the unknows I cant refute, just as the flying spaghetti monster whose noodles are delicious.
