I doubt that that's what d*d is saying. The fact that modern science cannot prove the existence of God is not evidence for his non-existence. Science is very powerful when it is talking about what it is supposed to be talking about, and so some people (fortunately, not all that many) make the mistake of thinking that only the things science can talk about are real. But that's bullshit. Just as I don't try and use philosophy to disprove the existence of armadilloes, let's not try and use science to disprove the existence of God. God isn't the sort of thing science is equpped to deal with. Science is simply the wrong tool to use to try infer anything about God from, especially since D*D isn't here talking about science disproving God, but rather not providing a proof.
