Science and logic can't absolutely disprove the existence of god, but they can't absolutely disprove the existence of Santa Claus either.
Just because you've never seen Santa Claus doesn't mean he doesn't exist, same for god.
So yes, god and Santa Claus are possibilities. But neither has enough evidence to convince me to stop masturbating or buy presents. Hume wrote:
'It must be admitted to be a reasonable request if we ask those who would have us put faith in the actual occurrence of interruptions of the order of nature, to produce evidence in favour of their view, not only equal but superior in weight to that [evidence] which leads us to adopt ours'
Supernatural phenomena require extraordinary evidence. If you want to convince me that an all-knowing, all-powerful invisible man controls our every actions, I'm going to need more evidence than the hearsay testimony of a 2000 year old dead man.
